(NEW YORK) — George Clooney auctioned off his wedding pictures to the highest bidders, but that money will go to a great cause.
The winners were People magazine in the North American market and the British tabloid, Hello, in Europe. Sources familiar with the sale tell TMZ the decision came down to which publication would pony up the most money.
The sources say the money will be going to several human rights charities, with the lion’s share earmarked for the Satellite Sentinel Project. It’s a charity that monitors the movements of militant gangs in the Sudan in order to warn civilians. Clooney is a co-founder of the group, which launched in 2010.
“Every photo in both magazines will be saving a life,” one of the sources close to Clooney tells the gossip website.
Clooney, 53, married lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36, over the weekend.
