Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio, whose net worth reaches 300 million US dollars, recently made headlines for leaving a generous 50,000 euro tip to a restaurant server during his trip to France. The revelation was made by host Benjamin Castaldi on a program, where he shared the heartwarming story of DiCaprio’s act of kindness that brought tears of joy to the service staff.
According to reports from the French media outlet CNEWS, Benjamin Castaldi recounted the encounter with DiCaprio at a high-end restaurant in the south of France, where DiCaprio dined with around 15 friends. Castaldi witnessed the emotional moment when the server approached them in tears after the meal, revealing the astonishing 50,000 euro tip left by DiCaprio.
Benjamin Castaldi praised DiCaprio’s generosity, describing him as someone who carries a credit card unlike any other – a blank card with no bank name, no name, and no limits, allowing the holder to spend however much they desire.
At the age of 49, Leonardo DiCaprio started his career in the 1990s with commercials before transitioning into acting. His breakthrough roles in “The Basketball Diaries” and “William Shakespeare’s Romeo+Juliet” in the mid-1990s eventually led him to the opportunity to star in James Cameron’s epic romance film “Titanic.” The film’s monumental success catapulted DiCaprio to stardom and became the highest-grossing film of its time until Cameron’s “Avatar” surpassed it in 2009.
Over the years, DiCaprio has consistently ranked among the top earners in Hollywood. In 2015, he topped the list of highest-paid actors, earning 25 million dollars for his role in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” By 2021, his paycheck for the film “Don’t Look Up” had increased to 30 million dollars.
Last year, DiCaprio starred in the crime drama “Killers of the Flower Moon” with a reported salary of up to 40 million dollars, making up one-fifth of the movie’s production budget of 200 million dollars. It marks his highest-earning film collaboration to date with director Martin Scorsese.
Numerous media outlets have reported that DiCaprio has been enjoying a vacation with his Italian model girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, traveling to various destinations including France, Africa, Italy, and Brazil. Their jet-setting adventures have kept them in the spotlight, showcasing DiCaprio’s lavish lifestyle and his penchant for philanthropic gestures like the jaw-dropping tip he left in France.
