ALBAWABA - Many people around the world are interested in celebrity memorabilia. At special auctions, many fans eagerly bid exorbitant sums of money to win the items and accessories of their favorite stars.

Several celebrities and artists have indicated that they would sell their renowned goods at public auctions and donate the proceeds to charity organisations. They include Fifi Abdo, Karim Abdel Aziz, Elissa, Lebleba Ahmed Helmy, and others.

At a recent public auction, actress Fifi Abdo revealed the sale of the iconic white robes she wore in the play "Haze Me Ya" for $100,000, and she donated the proceeds to one of the centers for people of determination.

Elissa, the musician, donated a renowned dress that she wore at one of her performances to be auctioned in America, with the proceeds going to a humanitarian organization. The outfit is estimated to fetch more than $25,000.

Similar to this, artist Ahmed Helmy decided to sell a well-known watch he wore in the film "Black Honey" at a public auction, anticipating that the watch would fetch more than $20,000.

The sale includes Karim Abdel Aziz's fez and Souad Hosni's shoes.

In turn, the artist Karim Abdel Aziz decided to sell the "tarboush" of Ahmed Kira's character in the film "Kira and the Jinn," as well as the shawl he wore in the film "The House of the Ruby," and donate the proceeds to one of the famous charitable organisations, with the proceeds expected to exceed $60,000.

The artist Lebleba put her iconic outfit from the film "The Devil Who Loved Me" in one of the auctions to sell it and contribute the proceeds, as did the widow of the artist George Sidhom, who donated a "hat" that he wore in the play "Love in the Wood." America auctioned off the hat, and Jihan Hosni, the late artist Souad Hosni's sister, also contributed a Cinderella shoe that featured in one of her pieces.

Aside from charity auctions, a number of stars have decided to sell some of their famous collectibles to their fans and lovers in the Arab world and around the world via a platform that specializes in selling these collectibles. Some artists, including Samira Saeed and Mustafa Shaaban, recently agreed with that platform to sell some accessories and collectibles and donate a portion of the proceeds. The remaining value will be donated to various charity organisations and hospitals.

Mustafa Shaaban agreed to sell the garments of "Hajj Fawaz" from the television series "The Fourth Wife," including his iconic white robe. He also chose to sell the horse saddle from the film "Ahlam Our Life."

During the era of exquisite art, a number of notable antiques, including Umm Kulthum's black spectacles and Kawkab al-Sharq's handkerchief, sold at exorbitant rates. In 1999, Umm Kulthum's things were auctioned in Cairo, including her black spectacles and a crimson handkerchief made of translucent chiffon fabric, which were sold. In the sum of $5.5 million.

The Italian Donato bought the late singer Sabah's outfit, which she had previously described as unique and the most expensive item she owned, for $20,000, and the famous writer Naguib Mahfouz's pen sold for $6,650 at one of the auctions.
