A three-day auction of Betty White's personal belongings memorabilia raised $4 million – exceeding the auction's original estimate of $400,000 to $600,00.
Thousands of bidders attended the auction, either live in Beverly Hills or online, where 1,600 pieces were for sale. The top-selling item was White's director's chair from "The Golden Girls" set, which went for $76,800 – a whopping 76 times its original estimate.
