Oprah auction
Oprah Winfrey is getting rid of everything from her Water Tower condo.

Oprah Winfrey is moving, and now she needs to get rid of some stuff! Surprisingly, however, the media mogul's near priceless possessions are being auctioned off at extremely low prices.

After announcing that she was shutting down Chicago-based Harpo Studios, where The Oprah Winfrey Show was recorded for 25 years, it's no shock that Oprah is also leaving her Water Tower apartment in favor of relocating closer to OWN headquarters in Los Angeles.

With starting prices as low as $200, you can own some Oprah treasures, like her Jorg and Olif Bicycle. Though, if you're willing to splurge big, you can own a Flora Danica Soup Tureen and Cover for $6,000. Other items are listed anywhere between $50 and $120,000.

Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is handling the sale, which begins Thursday and runs through April 25. It includes much of her furniture and decorative pieces, paintings, drawings, porcelain, crystal, silver, memorabilia, clothing and accessories.

Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Oprah's Leadership Academy Foundation, which supports the schools she's founded in South Africa.
