Ten Million Per Soul: The Weirdest Things That Sold The Stars

Earlier this summer, Jennifer Aniston auctioned off her candid photo at Christie’s. All proceeds from the sale will be used to fight the coronavirus.

The photo was taken in 1995 by Mark Seliger for the cover of an American magazine. “When I first met Jennifer Aniston, I knew straight away that she was going to be a big star,” the photographer recalls.

The framing turned out to be very provocative, although the pose of the actress is quite closed. Along with the Friends star’s photo, Mark has also put up for sale 24 other celebrity portraits: Billy Eilish, Courtney Love, Tom Hanks, Kurt Cobain, Brad Pitt and more. The current price for a black and white portrait of Jen is $6,500. This is one of the most expensive bundles so far. The auction will last until June 12.

Elon Musk’s girlfriend recently auctioned off a piece of her soul. Grimes is known to many not only as a singer, but also as an artist. In early June, she simultaneously opened two online exhibitions at the contemporary art galleries Gallery Platform LA and Maccarone in Los Angeles. On them, Claire Boucher (real name of a celebrity. – ed. approx.) presented her own drawings, prints, photographs and conceptual works created by her during the last decade.

Among all this, there are many that resemble an official document, according to which part of the soul of Grimes can be transferred to a new owner. The subject matter is very strange and costs decently – $10,000,000. Either the crisis has such an effect, or Grimes is really a girl who literally knows her own worth. Now I wonder who will buy such a product.

Actor William Shatner, known to many for his role in the Star Trek series, helped out with $25,000 for a stone from his own kidney. During the filming of the film “Boston Lawyers” the actor fell ill, the same stone turned out to be the culprit.

In 2006, the goods were sold on the Internet and the money was transferred to a charitable foundation that builds housing for the needy.

The founder of the GoldenPalace.com casino became the owner of the “precious” stone. He presented a valuable exhibition at private exhibitions. The pebble was auctioned several times, until it disappeared at some point.

Many people know that Gwyneth Paltrow owns her own Goop brand. A few years ago, under this brand, she developed the so-called “jade eggs”, which allegedly helped to achieve more spicy sexual pleasure.

And recently, the star went even further and started selling scented candles that smell like her own secretions. The erotic product accompanies the caption “It smells like my vagina”. Despite the price of $75, the product quickly found its buyer. The first batch of candles was dismantled in just a few hours, the second is already on the way.

Legendary manager of football club “Manchester United” Alex Ferguson is famous not only for his successful career. He has a habit of chewing gum during games. So he calms the nerves. On May 19, 2013, the man did not change the tradition: so his team won, and the chewing gum brought in a large sum of money.

The trainer spat out the stretching candy and the fan picked it up. The lot sold at auction for £390,000. The buyer of unsightly goods does not disclose his name. It is only known that all profits were donated to the Manchester Charitable Foundation to support young athletes.

In the early 2000s, the idol of millions, Justin Timberlake, visited the morning show on Z-100 radio. The format of the event included a celebrity breakfast. Timberlake apparently wasn’t too hungry and didn’t finish the toast, which was then auctioned off.

A piece of bread that was touched by the lips of a popular musician went under the hammer for $3,154. The seller donated the product to charity.

British model and cosplay fan Belle Delphine found an unusual way to earn money last year. A pretty girl easily sold all the water in the bathroom in which she bathed to her subscribers. Each bottle is 0.5L. went to a new owner for $30.

Why anyone would want such a keepsake is unclear. But just in case, Belle warned shoppers not to drink that water.

Having earned a handsome sum in two days, Dolphin asked fans what else they would like to buy for him. The list included outfits, accessories, and soul (but then Grimes beat her to it).

In 2011, after visiting a beauty salon, Justin Bieber decided to keep a lock of his hair and resell it later. He chose The Ellen Show as his auction venue, where the TV presenter put up a lot that many fans wanted for an online auction.

For $40,000, a secret admirer took the merchandise, additionally receiving an autograph from the singer. Bieber donated the easy money to The Gentle Barn, a charity that helps homeless animals.

On eBay, weird things related to public figures have been sold repeatedly. One day they offered chewing gum to Britney Spears, the next day they offered French toast that Justin Timberlake bit into, they even sold the air that Kanye West breathed.

A fan of Kardashian’s husband’s work has auctioned off a bag of air the rapper allegedly inhaled during a concert. Despite the unreliability of information, a struggle began for the fate. The original price of the package was only $5, but in the end, a wealthy man bought it for $60,100.
