On Friday, he was spotted at the Angel Ball in Southampton, donating a large sum of cash to the Gabrielle Angel Foundation during the auction and getting a “thank you” from the stage from auctioneer, Star Jones.
“They did the speeches and auction before dinner and so people were restlessly talking and it was pretty hard to hear,” says one attendee. “Then through the fracas comes Star thanking Russell Simmons. It cut through the noise.”

According to Russell's social media he has been in New York for the past month.
