Well, apparantly around $28,000!
Report comes from New York Daily News.
'Twilight' actor Robert Pattinson's kisses go for $28k a piece at AIDS benefit in Cannes
Want a bite of 'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson?
An opportunity to lock lips with the Hollywood hottie went for €20,000 ($28,000) Thursday evening at an AIDS benefit in Cannes, France.
Two bidders bought the kisses for their daughters and the 23-year-old actor said he was "happy" to oblige.
The two smooches with Pattinson were among the milieu of items auctioned off at the star-studded Cinema Against AIDS benefit, on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival.
An alto sax signed and donated by the former U.S. president Bill Clinton, an honored guest at the event, was another one of the star lots at the gala, selling for €130,000 ($180,000).
Sharon Stone hosted the 16th annual event at the exclusive Hotel du Cap on the French Riviera. Singer Annie Lennox entertained a star-studded crowd of about 600. The high-profile guest list ran the gamut from socialite Paris Hilton to scientist James Watson, one of the discoverers of DNA, model Claudia Schiffer, director Terry Gilliam and rapper.
Pattinson wasn't the only actor offering up his studly services.
Another strapping Hollywood lad, actor Josh Hartnett, offered up a striptease to the highest bidder, but the bidding never got high enough.
The current economic slowdown was addressed by Clinton, show spoke at the auction, while Stone urged people to give generously despite the global economic slump.
"Looking down at the price of my own shoes, we in this room cannot pretend that we have nothing to give," she said.
One bidder must have taken Stone's words to heart to bid €65,000 ($91,000) on a Chanel "Personal Transporter." The stylish segway is customized with the classic 2.55 handbag and matching black quilted-leather mud flaps and handlebars.
German actress Diane Kruger nearly took a spill while demonstrating the fashionable mode of transport on the stage, but was luckily saved by her actor beau, Joshua Jackson demonstrated
Other items on the auction blocks included a Fiat 500 car customized by Diesel, which sold for €80,000 ($110,000); tennis lessons from pros Monica Seles and Jelena Jankovic, which raised €30,000 ($42,000); and a handmade Karl Lagerfeld guitar case filled with Dom Perignon champagne, sold for €50,000 ($70,000).
The offer of a special screening of Quentin Tarantino's World War II revenge caper "Inglourious Basterds" raised €60,000 ($84,000).
Proceeds from the event go to the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), a nonprofit organization that supports HIV/AIDS research.
