George and Amal Clooney Seeking Guests for Five-Day Fundraiser on Lake Como — for Just Under $250,000


George and Amal Clooney are seeking guests for a five-day fundraiser for their foundation on Lake Como.

Participation starts at €160,000 ($173,000) per room (based on double occupancy) at the Passalacqua hotel, an opulent 18th century villa with frescoed suites, grand staircases and fountains overlooking the lake on land once owned by Pope Innocent XI. One of the dinners will be held at the romantic Villa Del Balbianello, which served as a location for “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones” and for the 2006 Bond film “Casino Royale” with Daniel Craig. She described the Lake Como fundraiser as “a much more proactive event” compared with the Clooney Foundation’s Albie Awards, held annually in New York to honor individuals who have devoted their lives to justice at great personal risk.
