Have you ever wanted to sip fancy cocktails on the shores of Lake Como, casually chat with George Clooney, and feel morally superior all at the same time? Well, good news! George and Amal Clooney are hosting an ultra-exclusive five-day fundraiser this summer, and for the low, low price of a small mansion, you can join in!
The Price Tag? Just Your Firstborn Child (Or $233,000, Whichever’s Easier)
This isn’t just any ordinary Italian getaway—it’s a high-rolling, justice-fueled extravaganza at the Passalacqua hotel, an 18th-century villa so fancy that even the staircases are probably judging you. For a minimum donation of $60,000 (a.k.a. the cost of a mid-tier luxury car), guests get access to world-class experiences, and for $173,000 per room, they can sleep where Pope Innocent XI’s land once stood. (Because nothing says luxury like staying on a Pope’s former real estate.)
What’s Included?
Prepare for five days of ridiculous opulence, including:
– Gourmet Dinners prepared by world-class chefs who probably whisper sweet nothings to their soufflés.
– A Lakeside Garden Party where you can casually pretend to be besties with the Clooneys.
– Private Access to Historic Villas, because who needs a museum when you can literally own the moment?
– Scenic Boat Rides that will make you feel like a Bond villain—especially since Casino Royale filmed at one of the event spots.
– A Night at Como’s Teatro Sociale, which sounds fancy enough that you should probably practice your slow head nod in approval now.
– Live Music and Performances—because no elite gathering is complete without someone crooning in the background while you sip overpriced champagne.
But Hurry—There’s Almost No Room Left!
Most spots have already been snatched up by wealthy philanthropists who love both justice and jaw-dropping Italian views. If you’re feeling generous (and just happen to have six figures lying around), you might still score a seat at this very swanky table. But don’t even think about coming if you don’t already run your own charity or at least pretend to save the world on weekends.
Experience Como the Clooney Way
Organizer Emma Ponsonby promises guests will get to see Lake Como through George and Amal’s eyes—which means you’ll probably fall in love with it, buy a villa, and start casually referring to Milan as “the city.”
In other Clooney news, George is heading to Broadway for Good Night, and Good Luck, proving he can juggle high society justice parties and theater like a true Renaissance man.
So, if you’ve got a quarter of a million dollars burning a hole in your pocket and a desire to hobnob with the A-list while pretending you care about justice, this is your moment.
