Don’t want to wait in line with all the other plebs for a new Ferrari? The One Drop Foundation Annual Gala might be your ticket, with a VIP live auction that includes the right to purchase one of Ferrari’s latest flagship models (the 849 Testarossa? We wonder), bypassing global waiting lists. Donated by Ferrari Beverly Hills, you’d also get a private visit to the Ferrari factory in Maranello, with behind-the-scenes access, and participation in the Corso Pilota driving programme with Ferrari’s world-class instructors.
The auction made its début on October 6 at an exclusive, 45-guest-only preview dinner at the Polo Private Room at the Dorchester Collection’s Beverly Hills Hotel.
This headline lot was unveiled by Giacomo Mattioli, owner, president and CEO of the Mattioli Automotive Group, owner of Ferrari Beverly Hills.
The gala itself will be held at the Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles on November 18, 2025, supporting One Drop Foundation’s global safe-water initiatives.
Other lots include US$80,000 worth of Romanée-Conti magnums, a six-night stay at Guy Laliberté’s Hawai‘ian estate for 20 guests (valued at US$120,000), a handcrafted Paoletti guitar donated and signed by Sting (valued at US$60,000), and a David Yarrow fine art photograph (limited to 12) called The Ferrari Kids (valued at US$55,000). Cirque du Soleil, Christie’s, Dorchester Collection, Valmont, Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits and LVH are gala supporters.
