DiCaprio pledges $7M to ocean conservation efforts

Leo DiCaprio, who’s often seen partying on multimillion- dollar yachts, got out his wallet for the waters this week.

He pledged $7 million from his foundation for ocean conservation at the State Department’s Our Ocean Conference in Washington, DC.

Secretary of State John Kerry said of DiCaprio’s environmental efforts, after giving the scruffy star a hug: “He doesn’t just lend his name . . . He does his homework. He knows the issues.”

DiCaprio said, “[I’m] here as a concerned citizen of this planet.”
