From 1993, the Cannes gala of the amfAR – on the sidelines of the 7th Art festival – has become an unmissable event for aficionados of the Croisette. It alone raised a cumulative $264 million.

It is true that the most “economical” entry ticket – that of “supporter” – giving access to a shared table, costs a whopping 15,000 euros! As for the “Great Philanthropists”, they have to pay 400,000 euros for a private table of 12 guests…
