Oprah Winfrey raises money for charity through yard sale
TV mogul and actress OPRAH WINFREY has raised £400,000 for charity after holding a yard sale in California.
Lee Daniels' The Butler star sold various pieces from her homes in Hawaii, Indiana and California on Saturday (02Nov13), including a set of six 18th century Louis XVI armchairs with hand-embroidered details, which went for £40,000, and an enlarged print of a TV Guide magazine photo of Winfrey, which fetched £2,000.
The funds will benefit Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.
