A collection of personal items belonging to actress and heiress Paris Hilton may be up for auction soon, with the bidding opening at $20 million. The items were originally taken from a Los Angeles area storage facility, where Hilton had been keeping her things while she moved from one home to another. However, when she failed to pay the bills for the storage site, her possessions became the property of the facility's owner. A representative told People magazine, "We learned the items were missing last Thursday. The people who have the items claim they purchased them at auction … because the (storage) bills were not paid. Our records indicate all invoices have been paid." The current owner of the items, David Hans Schmidt, has told the Los Angeles Times that he will ask a minimum of $20 million for the items that once belonged to the 24 year-old celebrity. |
