Oprah Winfrey selling her possessions

Oprah Winfrey selling her possessions

What's for sale might surprise you.

You might be surprised to hear that Queen of Daytime television and reigning media mogul Oprah Winfrey is selling her stuff. Today, it was verified that Oprah Winfrey is selling the “furniture, artwork, household items and clothing that once filled her Chicago home,” as USA Today puts it.

Guess it’s time for a little Spring Cleaning for the Daytime diva, who has her own OWN network on television and magazine to boot. With more than 500 items with items listed as high as $120,000, Oprah is gearing up to have her things sold on the auction block this Saturday.

Designer shoes, a hand-painted porcelain soup tureen, you name it, Oprah’s got it. And who wouldn’t want a piece of the most famous talk show hosts’ beloved household items? On top of the fact that her items are going for sale, proceeds will benefit the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation.

The auction comes after the announcement that Winfrey will be closing her Harpo Studios in Chicago, the location of her famed The Oprah Winfrey Show. She is currently in transition, changing production locations to her cable network to a studio in California.

At the bottom end of the estimate, the number $800,000 has come about as a projected value of all the items in total. Colleen Gleason, director of estates and appraisals, involved in the sale, has said that “there’s no upper limit on the bidding.” A fair chunk of dough for the media mogul to contribute to her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation.

The auction is sure to be an exciting event and it will be also exciting to see whom the Foundation benefits as a side reaction to the cause.

With the bidding farewell to Harpo Studios, Oprah Winfrey parcels out her belongings to the public who has grown to love her so very much.
