Anna Nicole Smith’s possessions being sold off for daughter’s future
May 12th, 2010 - 2:22 pm ICT by ANILondon, May 12 (ANI): Anna Nicole Smith’s former boyfriend Larry Birkhead is selling off the late model’s possessions to raise money to secure their daughter Dannielynn’s future.
After having failed to launch a successful legal battle to secure 188 million pounds from the model’s ex husband, oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall, Birkhead has decided to sell off her possessions in order to fund the kid’s education.
“It’s like, do I want to hold on to one of Anna’s dresses, or do I want to try to help Dannielynn’s future?
“Dannielynn has different need s than other kids. She has to have security because we have a lot of curious people and it creates a bit of a problem. And now that she’s starting school, she’ll need to go to a private school. I think Anna would appreciate that these items are going to help Dannielynn thrive and flourish and continue being the great kid that she is. We have money. We have more than enough to survive on. (Auction proceeds) would just supplement that,” The Daily Star quoted Birkhead as saying.
The sale will include Smith’s Mercedes sportscar, bronze statues and furniture, as well as gowns and paintings.
A slice of the proceeds from the auction will also go to the late model’s charity, the Anna Nicole and Daniel Wayne Smith Foundation, and a dress, which Smith wore in an advert for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), will raise money for the animal rights organisation. (ANI)
