00:05 Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian both dropped $2 million at a charity auction for Jay-Z,

00:10 Meek Mill, and Michael Rubin's Reform Alliance Gala on Saturday night.

00:14 Brady, 46, and Kardashian, 42, were among a roomful of 200 VIP guests at an all-star

00:20 blackjack party in Atlantic City to raise funds for the charity Jay-Z founded with Meek

00:25 Mill, Michael Rubin, Robert Kraft, and others in 2019.

00:29 During the night's auction, a painting by acclaimed artist George Kondo came up for

00:33 sale, and when Brady and Kardashian each bid $2 million, the artist agreed to create another

00:38 work for Kardashian as a commission.

00:40 Kondo has in the past created album covers for Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West.

00:45 Also up for sale for the night's good cause was the jersey that Brady wore when he completed

00:49 his 700th NHL touchdown in 2021.

00:52 The football star said at the auction that that lot went for $1.2 million and came with

00:57 a dinner with Brady.

00:58 Business whiz Gary Vaynerchuk snapped up a painting by artist Rashid Johnson for $1.1

01:03 million.

01:04 Tiffany Haddish was also in the running to win the lot after she bid a cool $1 million,

01:09 lost out.

01:10 Jay-Z put up a vaunted watch for auction from his own collection that was custom-made for

01:14 him by famed Jacob & Co.

01:15 The fancy time beast went for $1.5 million to a collector at the event.

01:20 That lot went for $1.2 million and came with a dinner with Brady.

01:24 Business whiz Gary Vaynerchuk snapped up a painting by artist Rashid Johnson for $1.1

01:29 million.

01:30 Tiffany Haddish was also in the running to win the lot after she bid a cool $1 million,

01:34 lost out.

01:35 Jay-Z put up a vaunted watch for auction from his own collection that was custom-made for

01:39 him by famed Jacob & Co.

01:41 The fancy time beast went for $1.5 million to a collector at the event.

01:45 Kevin Hart and Seed the Evening enroasted some celebrity audience members, including

01:50 Travis Scott and Meek Mill.

01:52 Hart warned Pal and Reform Alliance co-founder Ruben as he tipped the stage.

01:56 "I am getting some shots, and some of them are going to hurt," but Hart also made a

02:00 powerful plea for Reform Alliance, which aims to change probation and parole laws, by recounting

02:05 how his own father "served a lot of time" and was in and out of jail.

02:08 Hart also jokingly blamed the ongoing Hollywood actor's strike as the reason why he didn't

02:13 buy any of the night's auction items himself.

02:15 "I wish the strike wasn't happening.

02:17 I would have bought all this," T said.

02:19 "My finances are all wrapped up."

02:21 Ruben and fellow Reform Alliance co-founder Meek Mill also spoke, along with the org's

02:26 CEO Robert Rooks, and guests at the event included Matthew McConty, Des Bryant, Jack

02:31 Harlow, Alex Rodriguez, and more.

02:34 Performers at an after-party included Travis Scott, Fat Joe, Fabulous, Quavo, Lil Durk,

02:39 French Montana, Lil Baby, and Meek.

02:41 The board also includes co-founders Michael Ruben and Robert Kraft, as well as Net's

02:46 co-owner Clara Wuthse, Robert Smith, Michael Novogratz, and Laura Arnold.

02:51 Reform Alliance has helped pass 17 bills to date in 11 states while creating a pathway

02:55 for over 700,000 people unfairly caught in the system.

02:59 Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian flirt as they bid on expensive artwork.

03:02 The NFL legend was seen flirting with Kim K as the two went all out for pricey painting.

03:07 Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady were reportedly seen flirting as the two bid on a multi-million

03:12 dollar piece of art.

03:13 The NFL legend was present alongside the media personality as the two got a bit flirty satnz.

03:19 They were at the Reform Alliance charity in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday night

03:24 when the action happened.

03:25 The painting in question was by 65-year-old New York artist George Kondo, whose work,

03:30 as put by Sotheby's, is "populated largely by dramatically stylized, almost cartoonish

03:35 characters with exaggerated, often grotesque features such as protruding over or under

03:40 bites, girlish expressions, or is fractured nearly beyond recognition."

03:44 Timsey say that it was Kim Kardashian who kicked off the bidding at $500,000, with Brady

03:49 immediately going up against her in what was said to be a super fun and flirty exchange

03:53 between the two.

03:54 I can only imagine bidding $500,000 in pocket change and still managing to look super fun

04:00 and flirty.

04:01 Who won the auction and got the painting?

04:02 In the end, the bidding continued all the way up to $2 million, at which point the event

04:08 organizers stopped the auction and made sure both participants went away with their own

04:12 Kondo artwork for a price of $2 million each.

04:15 The Reeve Orem Alliance charity event, which had tickets priced at $500,000, was put together

04:21 by rappers Jay-Z and Meek Mill as they continue their march to transform probation and parole

04:26 by changing laws, systems, and culture to create real pathways to work and well-being.
