Reda Saleem (Dubai)
The heirs of the late Argentine Diego Armando Maradona began to sell his own possessions, through an online auction, and surprisingly, a number of them were not popular, while what was sold did not reap the expected amounts!
And 90 pieces of the belongings of Maradona, who died on November 25 last year, were offered in a virtual auction, according to what the group that supervised the sale announced.
Sales totaled only $26,000, while assets totaling $1,420,000 were left vacant, foremost of which was the house that Maradona ceded to his parents when he was playing for Argentinos Juniors in 1980, but no one came forward to buy the house, and the initial price was 900. one thousand dollars.
The house has an area of 700 meters covered, and 500 meters of park with swimming pool, which is what happened with an apartment of 45 square meters in the seaside resort of Mar del Plata, with a base value of 65,000 dollars and it was not sold.
Maradona’s painting “Between Fiorito and the Sky” by plastic artist Lu Sedova sold for $ 2,150, which is the most valuable piece, and this was followed by a picture of the Argentine star with the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro, which went out for $ 1,600 to a presenter from Dubai.
Among the exhibits is a “straw hat” worn by the late “legend”, as the show started with $50, before it was finally sold for $320.
The idea of the auction came under the supervision of the Adrian Mercado Group, at the initiative of the five sons and heirs of the former leader of the “Albiceleste”: Diego, Giannina, Dalma, Gana and Diego Fernando.
