The Most Expensive Kiss In The World

George Clooney Delivers
The Most Expensive Kiss In The World

Now you might be wondering, how much is this kiss worth? I can tell you, it’s so damn expensive and it involves George Clooney.


Well in a nutshell, there was a charity event (Cinema Against AIDS) at the Cannes Film Festival party. Matt Damon announced during the auction that a kiss with George Clooney is up for grabs and he acted as an auctioner. Well, what do you know, some rich businessman decided to shell out £175,000 ($350,000) and gave his wife the chance to kiss Clooney. He got a yacht vacation on top.

Now I’d have to say, this is the most expensive kiss in the world, haven’t personally heard of anything worth more. Who knows?

If it wasn’t for charity, I’d never pay that much for a kiss. But some people out there might just do so, fanatics at least.
