A pair of iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz was sold at auction for a winning bid of $28 million. The bidding process was fast-paced, with a few bidders making offers by phone, volleying back and forth for 15 minutes. Online bidding had previously reached $1.55 million.

Heritage auctions facilitated the sale, with the slippers being originally appraised at $3 million or above.
