If you've always wanted to own one of Oprah's favorite things, now is your chance.

On April 25, Chicago's Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will auction more than 500 lots from Oprah's former Chicago apartment. The collection is estimated to be worth between $850,000 and $1.3 million, and the proceeds will benefit the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation.

Bloomberg reports that many of the items showcase Winfrey's interest in 18th and 19th century design. The auction will feature plenty of furniture and art, such as this Aristide Maillol piece valued between $8,000 and $12,000.
