Crazy Celebrity Auction Items

We have become a celebrity crazed culture, and if you don't believe that, you must not have looked at your smartphone recently. I must admit, the fascination goes way beyond what it was like even a few years ago, and definitely before the internet was our go-to for a pop culture fix.

Auctioning off celebrity items has become big business, and People has come up with a list of some of the craziest things that have been offered up these days. And by that,  I mean the crazy money that people will pay own a piece of someone famous. Check out some of the wildest below, and be sure to look at their whole list.
