Russian billionaire bid $1.5m for a flight to space with Leonardo DiCaprio

A filthy rich real estate developer from Russia has paid $1.5 million for a flight to space with Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio. Vasily Kylukin, a baby-faced 37-year-old who lives in Monaco, scored the galactic getaway at a Cannes film festival fundraiser for charity. 'I want to be a bit daring,' Klyukin, who says he has always wanted to go to space, told Reuters. 'I will have to give up smoking now for sure!'
Actress Sharon Stone said Klyukin would spend three days in training with DiCaprio in Mexico before take-off.'You don’t get to go to outer space every day with a handsome movie star,' said Stone, dressed in a tight-fitting white dress with a gold snake trim down the back.
The poker-playing millionaire also dropped a clean $517,000 on a diamond and gold necklace - presumably for his blonde bombshell wife, actress Anna Vishnevskaya - at the auction, which raised $32.3 million overall.
