00:00Judy Garland's ruby slippers sold at auction for $32.5 million.
00:07Not so. Not so.
00:09And that's one of four pairs, so they're not even like an original.
00:13Were they worn in the movie?
00:15Yes. She had four pairs in the movie.
00:17One pair is in the Smithsonian, and three other pairs are with private collectors.
00:22And this is the most expensive, it seems like.
00:25The last record that was broken was Marilyn Monroe's seven-year itch dress,
00:28which sold for $4.6 million in 2011.
00:31So this is far more.
00:33Well, one thing for sure, the guy who bought this, it's got to be a guy.
00:36Girls are too smart for buying something like that.
00:38The guy must be embarrassed, because he bought it with Wicked so popular.
00:41I'm sure he's paying a premium for it. He should have waited a year.
00:45So it's a bad investment, you would say?
00:47Of course, they're old, dusty old shoes. Who wants them?
00:50They may not even be the ones she clicked together.
00:52They could just be the ones she was hoofing it on the Yellow Brick Road.
