The wolf pack was back Monday evening. .
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire slipped into Denise Rich’s Angel Ball to watch their friend Richie Akiva be honored at the Cipriani Wall St event.
The stars went largely unnoticed, except for the fact that they stood out in a sea of tuxedos and evening gowns by wearing baseball caps.
But don’t expect to see any snaps of them in their gala-dress helmets. We are told that photos of the famous duo were strictly prohibited.

Akiva described the moment as “a bit bittersweet” due to the Hamas terrorist attack and the Gaza/Israel conflict.
“With all the turmoil going on in the world today, and I’ve been so immersed in these last two weeks with all of this… It’s really taken a lot out of me… It’s a little bittersweet,” did he declare.

At the same time, he also had a message for the big spenders in the room: “It’s a blessing to live rich. It’s a sin to die rich, so write another check and help give back.
The message did not fall on deaf ears. The gala raised more than $2.8 million to support the Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for cancer research.
