A wide range of items belonging to pop star and film actress, Cher, has been sold in Los Angeles. The lot of over 700 items ? ranging from dresses to cars ? raised more than $3.5 million

Warren E. Buffett, the famous billionaire, has donated his 2001 Lincoln Town Car for an eBay auction in an attempt to raise money for a youth organization his family has long championed, Girls Inc.
