In six years of marriage to billionaire Ronald O. Perelman, actress Ellen Barkin amassed a treasure trove of jewelry. Gossip rags and even more respectable media provided details and speculation around the failed relationship. Neither party would reveal much directly, citing a confidentiality agreement, but The NY Times caught Barkin in a self analytical mood during an interview to publicize an upcoming auction of the aforementioned jewelry. Yes, instead of keeping the sparkly souvenirs of her up and down marriage, Barkin has chosen to sell them at Christie’s to the highest bidders. She plans to use the proceeds to finance her own film production company. There are 103 lots in the auction which works out to about 17 pieces each year of marriage. That’s more than one major jewelry purchase a month. Small change perhaps for Perelman.
