Rumor has it that Hollywood A-listers and best friends Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio had a $25, 000 bet to see who would become a dad first…and Leo won! Each actor bet that the other one would have children first.

Tobey and his fiancee Jen Meyer welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ruby Sweetheart, on November 10. The Spiderman star was reportedly happy to pay Leo the $25,000, because he got the best gift of all… his daughter.

However, Leonardo has also become a father of sorts. He recently "adopted" a South African girl, who he just fell in love with. The Titanic star will not technically take her home, but he will provide for her financially. Maybe he’ll send her his bet money?

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio fell in love with a little South African girl while he was in the country filming Blood Diamond and has decided to adopt her. However, he won’t be bringing her home to LA, but instead will send a check each month and "adopt her from a distance."
