Fetching quite the pretty penny for
all of her old trinkets, media mogul Oprah Winfrey raked in an
estimated $600,000, according to reports on Sunday (November 3). The 59-year-old's "epic yard
sale" took place on Saturday, and reports state that 10% of the total
earnings, translating to $60,000, was spent on a set of six 18th-century Louis
XVI armchairs with hand-embroidered details.
The Los Angeles Times also reported
that many run-of-the-mill items sold for extravagant prices, simply because
customers wanted to own items that had once belonged to the former talk show
host.
Some of said items included a set of
Crystal lamp bases that were expected to fetch $200-$400, and went instead for
$2,500, and two 13-ft. long sofas, upholstered in crushed velvet with roped
fringe, bought for an impressive $8,750.
