Sale Price: $115.932 million


Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress. Hollywood beauty Elizabeth Taylor was famous for her jewelry love in her lifetime. But late Liz Taylor's presence was still sparkling when her precious jewelry was sold at an auction on 14 December, 2011. The big splash was expected naturally when the jewelry hit the auction block. But very few have thought that this will become the most expensive private collection jewelry ever sold in the world by such a large margin. This collection of Liz Taylor's jewelry was expected to be sold at around $30 million but when auctioned off, the final sale price came out to be $115.932 million which was much higher than anticipated. The star attraction in this collection included the historic La Peregrinate necklace, the famous Elizabeth Taylor Diamond and a Taj Mahal Ruby.
