Oprah Winfrey had a yard sale and made $600,000 for charity. The media maven's goods were sold from her homes in Hawaii, Indiana and California with the auction taking place inside three different tents in Santa Barbara. Many of her things sold at very high prices even though they were estimated at being worth much less, due to the fact that it was owned by Winfrey.

All of the sales go towards Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. 

"I've been accumulating things since 1985," Winfrey said to Entertainment Tonight. "It's just too much stuff. I talk about it a lot in [O] the magazine. We talk about decluttering. And I realized, I need to declutter my own life. It is very freeing. I am downsizing." 

"The Queen of Talk sold a variety of different goodies ranging from luxurious furniture to signed enlarged framed prints and random homeware items," reported The Daily Mail." "One lucky and wealthy bidder bought a set of six 18th-century Louis XVI armchairs with hand-embroidered details for the pricey sum of $60,000."

In an issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, last spring Oprah Winfrey was photographed for the first time at her Maui Farm. Oprah, 59, owns 780 acres on Maui, Hawaii where she produce is grown and locally donated.

"Everything that we ate came from our own little one acre,' she said in a video. "To be able to have a full circle moment with that, not in Mississippi, but in Maui, is fantastic. It's like ... jewelry that comes from the earth. I love it, just love it."

Oprah continued: 'It felt like we were not using the land to its ultimate potential and purpose and giving back to the people of the land, so right now, we're growing all these vegetables.

We tested our soil and enriched our soil and we have have some of the richest... I mean our soil is like chocolate around here."

Currently, all produce is donated and they might start selling it at some point in the future. The Daily Mail reported that Oprah had trademarked "Oprah Organics" last yearfor sunscreen, bath soaps, massage oils, hair products and organic salad dressings, frozen vegetables, drinks, snack dips and soups.

Someone from Oprah's team who represents Oprah said to The New York Post at the time, "The trademarks were filed for Oprah's farm on Maui to enable the farm to grow and distribute produce on Maui and throughout the Hawaiian Islands."
