The late Betty White memorabilia auction rakes in $4 million

A collection of Betty White memorabilia proved to be golden, bringing in $4 million at auction over the weekend.

Everything sold, much of it for many times the initial asking price, Julien’s Auctions said on Sunday. The top draw turned out to be White’s director’s chair from “The Golden Girls” set, which went for $76,800 — 76 times its original estimate of $1,000.

“You would be hard-pressed to find an individual as iconic and well-loved as Betty White, whose impact is absolutely multi-generational,” Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien’s Auctions, said in a statement.
