The Justin Beiber Hair Auction Raises Money for Needy Animals
Michael Hines — February 28, 2011 — Unique
Ellen Degeneres' Justin Beiber hair auction has to be one of the most bizarre ways to raise money for charity that I have ever seen. Bieber's gave Degeneres a lock of his hair as a gift -- a gift that she decided to flip on eBay to raise money for The Gentle Barn, an animal rescue charity.
The current bid on the Justin Beiber hair auction is $7,000, a completely reasonable price to pay for a lock of hair. Betting for the hair closes in nearly five days, which should be enough time to drive up the bids into the $10,000 to $15,000 range.
