Charlize Theron offered to kiss the winning bidder at a charity auction to raise more money.

The actress was taking part in a live auction for the charity OneXOne, Us Weekly reports.

Theron was selling a 2010 trip to South Africa, complete with World Cup tickets, a safari, and a meeting with Nelson Mandela. However, she became frustrated when the bidding stopped at $37,000 (£22,548), below the $280,000 (£170,638) Jeremy Piven had raised.

"For f**k's sake!" she said. "You can do better. There is no way I am leaving here with Jeremy Piven getting a higher bid. I've got t*ts, for God's sake."

She offered a seven-second kiss for $130,000 (£79,225) to a male bidder, joking: "Swine flu is going around. This is high-risk kissing!"

After a man bid $135,000 (£82,272), a woman decided to pay $140,000 (£85,319) and claimed her 20-second kiss.

"My boyfriend is not here tonight," Theron joked.
