You Won't Believe How Much These Famous Movie Props Sold For

Olivia Newton-John's Pants

If you haven't seen Grease, then you've probably been living under a rock. Olivia Newton-John pretty much solely popularized wearing skin-tight leather pants for fashion, not for necessity. But, when Spanx founder Sara Blakely found out that these pants were for sale, she just had to get them for herself...

All That for a Pair of Pants??

This is going to sound outrageous, but these simple leather pants sold for a jaw-dropping $162,000. When questioned about her outrageous purchase, Sara Blakely said: "I have been the biggest fan of Olivia since I was a little girl, since 'Grease' came out, and my friend called me two days before the auction. I didn't know it was happening … and I thought, 'Oh my God. I've got to try to get these.'"
