CARPINTERIA, Calif., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- An auction of Oprah Winfrey's personal items in California raised at least $600,000 for her leadership academy in South Africa, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Winfrey and her exercise adviser, Bob Greene, took in more money than they expected when they auctioned off 584 items at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in Carpinteria Saturday, the newspaper said.
