Actor Sylvester Stallone painting sells for $410K at AIDS research gala

Sylvester Stallone showcased his artistic talents and philanthropic spirit at the amfAR gala in Las Vegas, where one of his paintings sold for a staggering $410,000 to support AIDS research.

The event, held at The Wynn Hotel, featured Stallone and his family among the attendees. The actor brought along an original multicolored painting titled “Knocking Heads,” which includes vibrant greens, yellows, and reds, with thoughtful faces and a nod to his iconic character Rocky Balboa.

The auction was intense, with bidders driving the price to $410K before the gavel dropped. The room erupted in applause as Stallone’s contribution raised a substantial sum for the prominent AIDS research foundation. Cameras caught Stallone beaming with excitement, clearly proud that his work could make such a difference.

Stallone, who has been painting for years, received additional recognition during the gala, accepting an award from Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, Dee. Beyond his artwork, Stallone’s generosity didn’t stop there—he also auctioned a spot in the upcoming season of his series “Tulsa King,” which fetched another $300,000.

The night was a resounding success for amfAR, combining art, entertainment, and charity. While Stallone may be best known for his action-packed roles, his artistic and charitable contributions continue to leave an indelible mark.
