Star power for a cause: Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady’s bid battle
In a delightful turn of events, Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady found themselves playfully sparring at the inaugural REFORM Alliance Casino Event. Hosted by Michael Rubin, Jay-Z, and Meek Mill at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the event brought these renowned personalities together for a good cause.
All in good fun
The highlight of the evening was an art bidding war, with Kim and Tom both vying for a valuable painting by artist George Condo. After a spirited back-and-forth, they both graciously contributed $2 million each.
Rather than a competition, it became a heart-warming agreement, showcasing their generosity and redirecting star power towards a good cause.
In a unique twist, George Condo, moved by their kindness, decided to create another artwork. This piece was to be a special gift for the individual who didn’t secure the first painting, adding an extra layer of warmth to this charitable encounter.
Star-studded moments
Tom Brady also made a generous gesture by auctioning off the jersey he wore during his historic 700th career touchdown, offering a lucky bidder a piece of football history. While seated beside her close friend Lala Anthony, Kim Kardashian shared a light-hearted moment with Travis Scott, Kylie Jenner’s former boyfriend. Despite not being photographed together, these star-studded encounters added a touch of glamour to the event, which successfully raised $24 million for criminal justice reform.
The room was abuzz with celebrities, including Kevin Hart, Gayle King, Tiffany Haddish, Alex Rodriguez, Matthew McConaughey, Jack Harlow, Quavo, and Lil Kim, among others. Capturing the essence of the night, Michael Rubin, one of the event organisers, took to Instagram to share a series of photos featuring Kim, Tom, and other high-profile guests, commemorating the event’s triumphs in the realm of charity and camaraderie:
“What a night !! Thank you to everyone who came out and made our first #ReformCasinoNight a huge success!! Less than 0.01% of philanthropic giving is utilised for criminal justice reform, but last night we raised nearly $24M making our inaugural Casino Night one of the most successful fundraisers ever,” he wrote. “Thanks to so many friends who supported this critical issue, @reform will be able to significantly scale their impact in more communities and transform millions of lives.”
A star-studded event, including the likes of Kevin Hart, Gayle King, Tiffany Haddish, Alex Rodriguez, Matthew McConaughey, Jack Harlow, Quavo, and Lil Kim.
Kim and Tom, sitting in a tree?
Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady are no strangers to using their star power to create headlines, especially at events hosted by Michael Rubin. Last July, the duo ignited dating speculations when they were spotted having a friendly conversation at the annual all-white party.
Michael Rubin, the event organiser, clarified the situation, asserting that Kim and Tom are simply good friends. He dispelled the dating rumours, explaining that they were just enjoying themselves at the event.
Tom’s rare appearance at social gatherings and Kim’s limited alcohol consumption led to the gossip, but, according to Michael, it was all in good humour.
