Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and others arrived at Perelman's house for a charity evening

At this weekend, the country house of billionaire Ronald Perelman was filled to the brim with famous guests. The owner of the mansion spent an annual charity dinner, the funds from which will go to the theater "Apollo" in Harlem.

Stephanie, Shelton, Lopez and others at a party at Perelman

In Hampton, at his country residence, this year Ronald saw not only his old friends: Harvey Weinstein, Jack Nicholson with his son Ray, Cathy Holmes and many others, but also newcomers. So, most of all photographers interested in the singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, who came to the event for the first time. The singer was without her lover Casper Smart, but with a homemade cake. It was so unusual that the paparazzi asked Jennifer what she was holding. Lopez replied:

"I was told that there is an informal atmosphere. Everyone eats homemade food and there is no pathos. So I thought, why not bring my favorite pie, which I baked for many years? I hope that he will like the guests. "

And the situation in the barn (as he calls his country residence Perelman) and the truth has to relax. Over the years, that a charity dinner has been held, it has become a tradition to see on the table and in the guests' dishes the pasta, roast chicken, grilled vegetables, watermelon salad and much more. Another interesting feature of the house is the lack of air conditioning. On the guests from all sides, and simply from the tables, fans blew. Separately, I want to say about the dress code, which was invented by Ronald for his guests - he simply does not. Inviting friends and stars for the evening, he always says:

"Maximum of comfort, minimum of formality!".

Art for art's sake!

In addition to the dinner with the home kitchen participants of the event was waiting for the concert "Art for the sake of art!", At which the invited guests agreed to speak. So, on the stage appeared Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefania with the song Break My Heart, as well as Lionel Richie, Asher, John Bon Jovi, Kimberly Nikol, Ciara and many others.

"For tonight we have collected 5 million dollars, and in general, if we count all the funds, then the amount is 25 million dollars. And all this happened in our barn. I'm trying to prove that there should not be a line between the rich and the poor. And the best thing in this is helping art. "
