Yeah, I wonder what Ellen thought of that scene.
Ellen Barkin’s Jewelry Sells for $20M
Los Angeles (October 11, 2006) --- Ellen Barkin’s jewelry, more than 100 pieces that included her wedding ring from her marriage to Revlon billionaire Ron Perelman, has fetched $20.3 million at auction. A hush came over the packed Christie’s sales room Tuesday evening when the auctioneer announced the sale of the ring, a wide band set with four rows of bell-cut diamonds topped in 18-carat gold. It sold for $130,000, surpassing a presale estimate of $50,000. The auction house did not disclose the buyer’s name. Among the other 103 lots, ranging from period jewels and gemstones, a 22.76-carat diamond ring was purchased by a private American collector for $1.8 million the highest price of the night. Christie’s said the film star was “thrilled” with the outcome of the sale. The $20.3 million total “makes Ellen Barkin’s collection the highest single-owner jewelry sale of the past 15 years in the U.S. and also places it among the top four ever worldwide,” said Rahul Kadakia, head of Christie’s jewelry department. All prices include the auction house’s commission. Barkin and Perelman married in 2000 and divorced six years later. The billionaire chairman of Revlon Inc. has a net worth of more than $6 billion. Barkin is currently filming “Ocean’s Thirteen” with George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Her other film credits include “The Big Easy” with Dennis Quaid and “Sea of Love” with Al Pacino.

^ dayum! $20 mill for her jewelry? Her stash appears to have rivaled what Liz Taylor collected during her many marriages. I hope she kept some jewelry for a future emergency auction. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer. ![]() | |

I think Liz's auction is gonna blow that shit up. I estimate it'll get at least $100 million.
But Ellen got at least $40 mil from Ron in her settlement so she gon be alright.

Yeah, it sure is a horrible suit he's wearing. And his tie & shirt. It's all very ill matched. He needs a dresser.
99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Why is she marrying him? If they're in Cali he gets half at least, but then if he inherits a sizeable fortune himself then no problem I guess. She must be doing some freaky stuff to that boy. | |
