An auction of more than 700 items belonging to singer and actress Cher raised over $3.5 million -- more than double pre-sale estimates -- as celebrity collectors snapped up her possessions.
The top-selling costume was a Bob Mackie-designed rock ‘n’ roll outfit that was sold for $60,000, up to 20 times its estimate of $2,000 to $3,000. The buyer was Brigitte Poublon, wife of singer and actor Bobby Sherman, who once appeared with Cher on the “Sonny and Cher” show.
The single most expensive lot was Cher’s black 2005 Bentley, which fetched $204,000, while the “Gothic Revival” brass bed from her Malibu residence earned $84,000.
