  2. Katy Perry

    Before bidding closed, a Barbie doll decked out like Katy Perry had made it to $13,500, USA Today reports.

  3. Lady Gaga

    Lady Gaga

    If you wanted to play the same Steinway piano that Lady Gaga played (and signed), you had to cough up $42,500.

  4. Bill Clinton

    Bill Clinton

    What's it like to be a former President? Someone paid $255,000 to "shadow" Clinton for the day (to benefit the Clinton Global Initiative).

  5. Howard Stern

    Howard Stern

    Ever want to hear one of Howard Stern’s dirty jokes in person? Someone paid $55,500 for the privilege.

  6. Oprah Winfrey

    Oprah Winfrey

    You didn’t think anything associated with Oprah would be cheap, did you? Someone paid $105,000 to meet her (to benefit the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights).

  7. Harrison Ford

    Harrison Ford

    OK, this one actually sounds kind of cool. Someone paid $65,000 to fly the California skies with Harrison Ford as co-pilot (to benefit Conservation International).

  8. Elton John

    Elton John

    Ever want to walk the red carpet, Elton John-style? Someone paid $100,000 to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and Elton John's AIDS Foundation Dinner -- and walk the red carpet with the stars.

You've probably always wanted to meet your favorite celebrity -- but how much are you willing to spend?

$37,600 sounds like a lot of money to meet Taylor Swift, but it's not as pricey as playing Lady Gaga's piano ($42,500).

Ever want to hear one of Howard Stern’s dirty jokes in person? Someone paid $55,500 for the privilege. And before bidding closed, a Barbie doll decked out like Katy Perry had made it to $13,500, USA Today reports.

However, all of these celeb auctions -- held on Charitybuzz.com -- were for a good cause. Celebrity items earned more than $25 million for nonprofits, according to USA Today. It's good karma all around, but would you spend $65,000 to fly with Harrison Ford?

    And playing Lady Gaga's piano are both lame. I'd love to party with Elton John or Fly with Harrison Ford.

    FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. BUT IF I DID, I WOULDN'T BE SO ENTHRALLED WITH "CELEBRITY" THAT I WOULD DONATE/SPEND IT IN THIS MANNER ON ANY OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS LIST. I HAVE FAVORITE CHARITIES I'D PREFER TO SUPPORT SUCH AS FEED THE CHILDREN.

    I'd like to meet her! I think that she is talented and seems like a sweet person.

    To be totally honest all of them are a waste of money.

    They all seemed a bit boring and lame and that the auctions could have been more worth the money spent.

    Everything has a price and if someone is willing and able to pay it AND it goes to a good cause....I don't see any losers in it. With that said, I still wouldn't pay to meet Howard Stern.

    At least with the others you can actually meet the person or use something of value.

    seriously, the other ones are at least a LITTLE understandable, but this is just plain stupid. even if it only cost me $1.00 i wouldn't do it. i would probably have better use of that dollar

    Shadowing someone sounds creepy.
    And you can stalk them for free!

    You can't stalk Bill Clinton, because he still has Secret Service Protection. You have to pay if you want to shadow him! Unless, of course, you area former White House Intern!
