Yes, you read that right (even we are still in shock). On the night of September 13 to 14, the iconic wool sweater worn 40 years ago by Lady Diana sold for the astronomical sum of one million dollars, a record amount that no one expected.

Let's look back at the chronology of this incredible story. Last June, Sotheby's auction house announced that it would auction this famous sweater. This news sounded more like a charming anecdote than a big announcement, because at the time, the sweater was estimated at around $60,000.

As per the announcement, the auctions started in early September. IF the bidders were timid at the beginning, the course of events defied all predictions. After an initial bid reaching an estimated $60,000, offers became rare before gradually increasing. So when we checked last night around 10 p.m. PST, the price of the sweater had reached $190,000, triple its original estimate. A great sale that we were sure to tell you about.

Then, the surprise. During the night, the bidding climbed until it reached the astronomical sum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS. More precisely, $1,143,000. But what happened while we slept? Regardless, the sale of this famous, friendly sweater turned into a historic sale in just a few hours.

One million dollars. Okay, we'll stop repeating it. But still, a million dollars... for a sweater!
