A trip into space with Leonardo Dicaprio has sold for almost one million pounds. <\/p>\n
A seat beside the 'Great Gatsby' actor on Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space flight attracted the huge bid at amfAR's annual gala and auction at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. <\/p>\n
Seats on similar flights - which Richard hopes will begin to launch from New Mexico by the end of 2013 - usually sell for 132,406 although a pair of tickets on Leonardo's shuttle sold for 1.19 million at the auction. <\/p>\n
A bumper lot containing two tickets to the premiere and afterparty of Leonardo's 'Wolf on Wall Street' and an Oscar package including accommodation at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a Chopard watch, tickets to the Weinstein, Sir Elton John's and Vanity Fair's parties sold for 1.5 million, according to E! News. <\/p>\n
Leonardo, 38, is currently partying in Cannes but was left disappointed this week when model Cara Delevingne rejected his invitation to attend a private celebration. <\/p>\n
A source said: ''Normally all Leo has to do is look at a girl and they fall at his feet. Though Cara was having none of it. <\/p>\n
''He spent the night chasing after her and essentially she blew him out. <\/p>\n
''They spoke and he was pretty forward inviting her to a party back at his suite. They swapped numbers but that was it.'' <\/p>\n
The British beauty is said to have turned down Leonardo - who has previously dated models including Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli and Erin Heatherton - because she felt the 18-year age gap between them was too much. <\/p>\n
