Zeta Jones wedding 'raised £100,000'
The couple asked wedding guests not to bring gifts
The wedding of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas raised more than £100,000 for a new charitable foundation, it has been reported.
The fund will be administered by the couple's son Dylan - now a baby - when he reaches 21. The money was raised from family and friends who attended the glamorous wedding in New York last year. They were asked not to bring gifts, but to donate to the foundation instead. Donor Some of the individual donations were revealed in documents from the US Internal Revenue Service.
Jann Wenner, publisher of Rolling Stone magazine, Edgar Bronfmann, executive vice-president of Vivendi Universal and perfume-maker Nina Cerruti each donated £3,525. Danny DeVito, who shared a flat with Douglas early in their film careers, gave the foundation £1,410. Lavish Veteran British actor Albert Finney, who appeared with Douglas in the Oscar-winning film Traffic, donated £1,057. There were 350 guests at last November's lavish ceremony at New York's Plaza Hotel, including Goldie Hawn, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, Sharon Stone, Christopher Reeve, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt and Jones's family from Wales. The couple sold their wedding photographs exclusively to OK! magazine, and tried to ban rival magazine Hello! from publishing its own set. The cash raised from the magazine was added to the Dylan Douglas Foundation, which the couple has said will give their son the chance to do good.
