Jeff Kravitz/Getty Images via ABCGoing to a Madonna concert? That’s so five minutes ago. What about going horseback riding with the Queen of Pop? Or sitting in the studio while she plays you songs from her unreleased new album?
These amazing experiences could be yours if you have about $120,000 to spare. Madonna’s donated them to be auctioned off at the second annual Monte-Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean, which will be held in Monaco on Wednesday.
Celebrities and philanthropists will gather for a red carpet, cocktail reception, Michelin Star chef-prepared dinner and the live auction. Proceeds go to support Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation’s initiatives in favor of a sustainable Ocean.
If you can’t make it, you can place an absentee bid for the Madonna experiences, each of which starts at 100,000 euros, which is roughly $117,000. The horseback-riding experience will allow you and five guests to join the Material Girl as you navigate the beaches of Portugal on horseback. Unfortunately, you’ll have to pay to get yourself there — travel and accommodation aren’t included.
As for the studio experience, that will take place in October or November of this year in London. You and up to three guests will join Madonna in her London recording studio and preview some of the songs from her new album, which is due to be released before the end of this year.
You can also shell out for a portrait taken by famed photographer Steven Klein during a session in New York City that will be art-directed by Madonna.
Other auction lots include Mick Jagger’s signed guitar, a chance to play golf in L.A. with Andy Garcia, and any number of fabulous and exotic trips, jewelry and artwork. Visit MonteCarloGala2018.com for details.
