NEW YORK (AFP) - US actress Ellen Barkin has found the platinum lining to her divorce from billionaire ex-husband Ron Perelman by auctioning off the jewellery he gave her for more than 20 million dollars.
Barkin had made clear she wanted to get rid of the lot after her marriage broke down earlier this year, telling The New York Times last month: "These are just not memories I want to wear out every day."
The sale at Christie's in New York late Tuesday included 108 lots of diamond rings, necklaces and earrings from jewellers including Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany and Van Cleef and Arpels, totalling hundreds of carats.
Will someone please pick my jaw up off the floor?
I can't even imagine that kind of wealth. How the hell can you be so rich that you have an ex-wife with $20 million in trinkets that she doesn't want?
