[This is an update to James Brown’s Old Stuff Up for Auction]
The 350-or-so items from James Brown’s estate were sold yesterday for a sum of around $800,000, a bit short of the 2 million Christie’s estimated. Items of interest: his medical bracelet bought by Paul Schaffer for $32,500, Hammond organ for $10,000, and his pink leather couches for $40,000.
The money is going to be used to pay off his outstanding taxes.
