Ann Hathaway’s jewels from ex-boyfriend to be auctioned off
HollywoodNews.com: Jewels seized by Federal authorities after the arrest of Ann Hathaway’s ex, Raffaello Follieri, are going up for auction.
Among the goodies Follieri gave Hathaway which are up for grabs: a gold Rolex watch ($25,000) and a silver one ($5,000). Tiffany clocks, a Cartier figurine were among the numerous precious items.
Follieri was busted in 2008 for an investment scheme that involved fake liaisons with the Vatican. He stole more than $2 million from investors and used the money to fuel his lavish lifestyle. Following the incident, that August, Hathaway turned the bling over to the Feds as they prepared for trial. The jewelry was used as evidence.
Per the New York Post, the “Devil Wears Prada” actress was given a chance to bid exclusively on the rings, necklaces and bracelets, however, she declined.
The bidding session, which hasn’t been scheduled, is being held to repay Follieri’s victims, including supermarket magnate and Bill Clinton friend Ron Burkle.
Hathaway’s recent beau, Adam Shulman, also seems to be quick with his hands. Shulman was accused last month of stealing a mural from a Meatpacking District construction site. The contractor decided against filing charges after Shulman returned the piece.
