First stop Oscars, next stop Mongolia. Leonardo DiCaprio dropped $95,000 for a Mongolian expedition at the star-studded amfAR charity auction Wednesday night. After a relaxed but persistent bidding war, DiCaprio edged out the competition and secured the trip, which will be led by world renowned adventure explorer Johan Ernst Nilson. All proceeds from the gala - which included a pricey piece by Andy Warhol and a Timothy White photograph of Elizabeth Taylor - will benefit amfAr, the international foundation for AIDS research. In addition to being surrounded by models, the actor was seated between Harvey Weinstein (who was being honored at the event) and Uma Thurman.
