There are two types of benefactors that make the cut for the Met Gala. The first category is made up of individuals who have both donated a lot of time and money to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Then, there are fashion houses and companies (ranging from Yves Saint Laurent to Amazon) who buy tables to the event, which can cost anywhere from $75,000 to $250,000 depending on the size of the brand and its relationship with Vogue.
