And there were two Argentine businessmen who, beyond having paid their corresponding tables, helped to reach the said figure by bidding at the auction that took place during dinner. Brothers Alberto and Alejandro Roemmers paid respectively, 60 thousand dollars for a sculpture Uruguayan Pablo Atchugarry –present at the meal–; Y 14 thousand dollars for an Argentine National Team jacket signed by Lionel Messi. $20,000 was also added to the auction for a work by Lorenzo Quinn –son of the famous actor who died in 2001–, and before the night closed, a renowned businessman who preferred to keep a low profile donated $30,000.
