Quote:
The statue was one of several that popped up this summer across the country including in San Francisco, Cleveland, Seattle and New York. While most of the other statues were taken down by their respective cities, the one that appeared on Hollywood Boulevard was saved and sold to the highest bidder at Julien's Auctions on Saturday.
The identity of the person who won the statue has not been revealed. Early estimates suggested that the statue could go for as high as $10,000, but it more than doubled that prediction in the bidding this weekend.
