The pricey Barbie, created by Australian fine jewelry designer Stefano Canturi, wears a black strapless evening dress and a bejeweled choker, complete with a one-carat square-cut pink diamond.
She was sold at an auction at Christie's in New York City to an anonymous bidder for $302,500. The one-of-a-kind Barbie was estimated to be worth between $300,000 and $500,000. Even though the bid came in at the low end of that range, she is still the most expensive Barbie ever sold.
The previous world auction record for a Barbie was $17,091, set in 2006, according to the BBC. All proceeds from the sale will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, in conjunction with breast cancer awareness month.
