Brad Pitt Paid $120,000 for a Date With Emilia Clarke

Brad Pitt is one of the most famous actors in the world. I’d venture to say he’s top five famous in that category. That’s a level of fame that 99 percent of the world will not achieve.

And yet, even he needs to pay to watch Game of Thrones.

Pitt placed a $120,000 bid to watch Game of Thrones with Emilia Clarke. The auction started at $20,000. Pitts raised it to $80,000 and then raised his own bid to $120,000. He ended up losing to someone who bid $160,000.

What a dick Brad Pitt is.

He purposely raised the value for no reason and cost someone an extra $40,000. Pitt is famous enough and single enough to where he could have simply asked Clarke on a date. I guess paying $120,000 and forcing her to watch a show she stars in with you is better than her turning you down.

I guess it could have been worse. At least he let the other guy win. We all know that Pitt could have bid $200,000 and easily secured the win. I just assume he realized that asking her out on a date would cost much less. And he wouldn’t be forced to watch Game of Thrones.

Now the guy that won can tell all his friends that he beat Brad Pitt at something. And he got to hang out with the Queen of Dragons for an hour, pretending he cared about Game of Thrones while trying to hide his boner.

The auction benefitted J/P HRO & Disaster Relief Organizations. It was hosted by Sean Penn and featured other celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Lena Dunham, and Connie Britton circle jerking each other for the charity work they do and bashing Donald Trump.

The auction raised over $3 million by the halfway point. If they smartly saved the big ticket items until the end, that means the final number should push $10 million. Good job, celebrities. You’re still the best.
