From the Mail:
"In 2013, when she was 85, an auction of her jewellery by Sotheby's in Geneva fetched $4.9 million and set a record for a pair of diamond and pearl earrings, which sold for $2.37 million. The proceeds went to stem cell research.
'Jewels are meant to give pleasure and for many years I had enormous pleasure wearing mine,' she said. 'Selling my jewels to help raise awareness of stem cell therapy, which can cure so many illnesses, seems to me a wonderful use to which to put them.' "
Good for her.
