Billionaires, celebrities and jet-setters have decamped to Saint-Tropez with a source telling us the French hotspot is “on fire”.
In fact, there have been several ultra-exclusive bashes vying to be the hottest ticket in the world.
Nightlife mogul Richie Akiva hosted a party for Swiss biotech billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli where we hear from Drake, Leonardo DiCaprio, longtime “Pussy Posse,” member Tobey Maguire and Bulls star (and baby daddy of Khloe Kardashian) Tristan Thompson hung out with an army of models.
The St. Tropez rager, complete with a lavish dinner and dance, took place in what a source described as an “epic estate” overlooking the water. Drake took care of a DJ booth set up by the pool.
“Drake was on the mic all night,” the source explains.
We’re told model Suede Brooks, with whom Drake was pictured “yachting” on the island, was also in attendance.
Forbes estimates that Bertarelli, owner of the $150 million super yacht VAVA II, is worth $8.5 billion.
Page Six learns that Saturday night there is an invite-only party dubbed Aurora Gala thrown by artist Mouna Rebiez. She is expecting Uma Thurman, Diplo, Gerard Butler, Queen Latifah, heir Stavros Niarchos and his wife Dasha Zhukova, among others. It benefits the mental health organization Aurora, which was founded by Rebiez’s children, Henry and Souraya Chalhoub.
Meanwhile, JC Murray, the grandson of French billionaire Tony Murray, threw a party at one of the grandest houses in the ultra luxurious gated community, Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez. The area is also home to the chairman of luxury group LVMH, Bernard Arnault, and the owner of the Ritz Paris, Mohamed al-Fayed.
And we hear rum heiress Lady Monika Bacardi throwing a 300-person birthday party on Indie Beach with guests like publicist Anna Rothschild.
Sienna Miller and her boyfriend Oli Green, Victoria and David Beckham, Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman and Sofia Richie have also been spotted.
Next on the travel list for the chic ensemble is Capris for the UNICEF gala on July 30. Jennifer Lopez, currently honeymooning in Paris with Ben Affleck, is expected to perform, and Akiva is expected to host an after party.
