Someone Paid $17,000 for a Pair of Oprah's Autographed Louboutins

You can’t hate on a large sum of money that’s going towards charity…BUUTTT, we can still be shocked that someone out there in the universe values Oprah Winfrey’s signed Louboutins at $17,000.

During her Australian speaking tour, Oprah made a stop off to do some charity work for the cause, One Girl. Oprah decided to auction off a pair of her Louboutin heels and signed them for whoever bid the most for the heels. The bid started out at $500 and ended up selling for $16,601 on eBay Sunday evening.

The 61-year-old’s shoes were snatched up by Karla McPhail, a Coal Train CEO. She is also bringing her 30 staff members and all of her family out to Brisbane, Australia to hear Oprah speak.

She told the DailyMail Australia, “They have a signature on the sole so I think I will just wear them to the show and that’s it – I don’t want to wear it off. I can’t wait to watch her speak. I have followed her since my university days, so over 30 years, and I think she is the most inspirational leader of our generation.”
