Billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey is having a sale. She is selling off some furniture ahead of a massive interior-design rehaul of her 23,000-square-foot Santa Barbara estate. Items on sale include LouisXV arm chairs, art, and some fixtures.
Oprah Winfrey announced this week that she will auction off her West Coast home’s contents, with the proceeds going to her leadership academy for girls in South Africa. Intriguingly, Oprah decided to redecorate not after evaluating her true self in one of her magazine’s many tutorials but after an interior designer pricked her insecurities with a harsh yet business-savvy neg: “This house has nothing to do with you.” Winfrey consequently hired the interior designer, Rose Tarlow.
