When most of us think about a yard sale, we think about small trinkets, little items and such. But not Oprah Winfrey. She recently hosted multiple “yard sales” over the weekend, raising a whopping $600,000 for charity.

All of the money raised is going to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. This charity helps young women to improve their education and their social opportunities.
Here is a picture she put on Twitter before the auction:
