The oddball real estate mogul says he won’t be handing over the cash, claiming that the kids’ charity was flagged as “fraudulent” by his bank when he tried to pay up.
Page Six this week learned that he’s dubbed Unicef, one of the world’s most recognizable aid organizations, “fraudulent” and exercised his right to take-backsies.
Carroll went to the starry LuisaViaRoma x UNICEF gala in July — also attended by Spike Lee, Jared Leto, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ansel Elgort, and Vogue UK boss Edward Enninful — and made the winning bids on a vintage car and a “’Top Gun’ experience” that included a ride in a fighter jet and fancy food, wine and accommodations in Burgundy, France.
The real estate billionaire has decided not to hand over the $1.5 million he said he’d pay for the swanky items, claiming that the event organizers were flagged as fraudulent by his bank.Carroll told Page Six, “I sent the full amount of the donation through my bank and was quite surprised when it flagged the recipient as a fraudulent organization.
He added, “At that point, I made the decision that my philanthropic dollars would be better spent elsewhere.”His attorney Duncan Levin Patrick told us, “Patrick Carroll is a philanthropist and he will continue to donate to organizations when money actually reaches those who are in need.”
