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.
