Oprah Winfrey to sell off contents of her Californian mansion
As Oprah Winfrey prepares to turn 60 she’s decided to refresh the décor at her $82 million Californian estate. As a result, the contents of this mansion along with items from her other homes are to be auctioned at the Santa Barbara Polo Club on 2nd November.
The sale – which is being conducted by Beverly Hills based Kaminski Auctions – includes upholstered furniture by George Smith, European antiques and carpets and rugs. Of why she’s selling the items, Ms Winfrey commented:

Items will be available to view from 30th October to 1st November whilst catalogues are available for $50. Funds raised will benefit the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation.
