The night always sounds amazing and he prizes being bid on are phenomenal.

The problem for the charity is that well over half of the people bidding, never pay up. They like to look important and rich and that they can afford to bid $1M on something.

The thing is though, they never usually write a check or if they do, it bounces.

The charity, run by an A+ list mostly movie actor doesn’t seem to care though because he likes the buzz of being the host.

LDF – Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation

How did Harvey Weinstein plan to get WHCD dinner tickets that he pledged to Leonardo DiCaprio’s charity?

This is philanthropy, Harvey Weinstein-style: The now-disgraced movie mogul offered up, as part of a package he donated to a charity auction for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, two tickets to last year’s White House correspondents’ dinner.

But it’s unclear how Weinstein planned to acquire the tickets for the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual splashy affair, which are sold only to member news organizations — and his donation of them runs afoul of the WHCA’s anti-scalping (even for charity!) policies, which ban buyers from raffling or selling off their seats to the media dinner.

The rule-breaking is, to put it beyond mildly, not the worst thing Weinstein’s been accused of, but here’s how the ticket saga played out: A Daily Mail report on Monday detailed donations to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation by two men now toppled by sexual-misconduct scandals — Weinstein and actor Kevin Spacey. Among the lavish prizes offered for auction in 2016 was an extensive package from Weinstein, which included, according to the Daily Mail, sharing a table with the famed producer at his company’s annual dinner party on the night before the Oscars, walking the red carpet with him at the Met Ball, two tickets to the 2017 Super Bowl, two invites to the White House correspondents’ dinner and two front-row seats to the “Project Runway” finale. – Source
