    Meeting Taylor Swift

    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).

    Howard Stern

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

    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

    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?

    Who do these people think they are, gods? Maybe they worked to get where they are, maybe they got lucky. But they are no better than you or me, or anyone else.

    Unless of course those shades were part of the deal, then in that case it was totally worth it.

    there celebs
    'nough said
    with the amount of unusal, crazy or what ever stuff they do or allow to be done or support
    i don't question it anymore
    there in the business of making money and boosting the personal image
    if we are dumb enogh to buy in to it
    why would they complain
  • spacesocks shar 2011/12/22 18:24:30

    yeah. She just seems like a pretty good person though. But then she does things that I.. just don't really get. But she's human and no one is perfect. I just don't understand the thinking on either part. You can go to a concert or something and meet her. And I would never let someone pay that much to meet me; especially knowing they could do it an easier way, I wouldn't let them do that. Just donate the money to charity.
  • shar spacesocks 2011/12/23 00:15:50

    maybe its like once they get to the "celebrity status" the actually start believing they are worth said amount of money for us regular people to meet them
    not saying all but defently some

    Why would I want to party with a washed up and extremely ugly pervert musician? He tried to put the move on a musician friend of mine (I have many) that opened for him at a gig. He's a nasty perv. I have nothing against him being gay buy my bud was waaaay too young for "Sir Elton."

    *ahem* A "moron" that makes more money than you will probably ever see in your lifetime, even if you win every U.S. lottery game TWICE, all because of her marketing genius combined with her talent.

    Fact: Just because YOU think she's a moron doesn't mean she is one.

    how much would you pay, for something that someone you adored used?

    Alot but not something a moron used!!

    like wise i'm not her fan, so i would not pay to own anything of hers,
    but most defently there are some people i adore and if i could afford it especially if the proceeds went to charity even better a charity i liked i would pay
