Madonna's 'Desperately Seeking Susan' Jacket Fetches $252K at Auction
The Material Girl proved her worth after a collection of her clothes and other memorabilia brought in big bucks during a charity auction in Beverly Hills this weekend.
Julien's Auctions raised $3.2 million during its two-day Icons of Rock n' Roll charity auction. Memorabilia from Elvis, Michael Jackson, John Lennon and other music legends were up for bid. But Madonna was the big draw of the weekend.
The biggest-selling items included the gown and stole she wore in the "Material Girl" video, which sold for $73,125, according to the auction house's news release. Meanwhile, the wedding dress Madonna wore when she tied the knot with Sean Penn sold for $81,250.

The biggest seller, though, was the jacket she wore in 1985's "Desperately Seeking Susan," which got the highest bid of $252,000. Additionally, one earring worn in the film sold for $34,375.
Original Herb Ritts photographs of Madonna, 56, also sold well above original estimates. One picture of the singing icon sold for $35,155, while others sold for $13,281 and $12,500.
