Madonna Sells Painting for $7 Million

#TaniaOnTheScene - She plans to use the funds for education. Madonna, who struck a punk pose at Monday’s Met gala, is now $7.2 million richer.

The Material Girl sold a 1921 painting she has owned since 1990, Three Women at the Red Table by Fernand Leger, at a New York City auction Tuesday night.

The abstract work, reports AP, had a pre-sale estimate of $5 million to $7 million. It sold at Sotheby’s for $7.2 million.

Proceeds of the sale will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation, which supports girls’ education in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.

“I want to trade something valuable for something invaluable — educating girls!” Madonna said last month.

@LinkinPark Teams Up with @Sebago

They’ve recently teamed up with footwear brand Sebago. Their design of the exclusive, limited edition high-top boot, was created to combine their fashion style and love for innovative sneaker designing. The tall lace-up boot is all-black with the Linkin Park logo encrusted on each pair.
