Sylvester Stallone showcased both his artistic talent and charitable heart at the amfAR gala in Las Vegas, where one of his original paintings fetched an impressive $410,000 to support AIDS research.
The star-studded event, held at The Wynn Hotel, saw Stallone accompanied by his family.
He donated a vibrant, multicolored artwork titled “Knocking Heads,” featuring striking greens, yellows, and reds, with expressive faces and a subtle homage to his iconic character Rocky Balboa.
Bidding for the piece was competitive, driving the final price to $410,000. The room erupted in applause as Stallone’s work made a significant contribution to the foundation’s cause. Cameras captured the actor’s excitement as he celebrated the painting’s success.
A passionate painter for years, Stallone was also honored at the gala with an award presented by Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, Dee.
Adding to his philanthropy, Stallone auctioned a guest spot in the next season of his series Tulsa King, raising an additional $300,000.
The evening was a triumph for amfAR, blending art, entertainment, and generosity. While Stallone is renowned for his blockbuster roles, his artistic and charitable endeavors continue to leave a meaningful impact.
