Russell Crowe arrives at the World Premier of "The Water Diviner" at State Theatre on December 2, 2014 in Sydney, Australia.
On his 54th birthday, Russell Crowe had a what he called a “divorce auction” in Sydney, Australia. The auction was streamed live on Facebook.
Crowe first tweeted about the Art of Divorce auction in February.
The over 200-item collection brought in $3.7 million in five hours. Crowe tweeted about the success of the event.
Some items included Crowe’s armor from the award winning film Gladiator, that went for $125,000. Other pieces from the film that sold were a prop sword and spare blade combo for $70,000, a Roman chariot replica for $65,000, two life-size prop horses that sold for $5,500 each and a pair of black leather wrist cuffs for $32,000.

A leather jock strap was a popular item that sold. On Good Morning Britain, Crowe said it was originally “a gag” to have it in the auction. “It was my jock strap when I won the heavyweight championship of the world as the character James J. Braddock in the film Cinderella Man,” he said. “I put it in the collection as a piece of whimsy and a bit of a gag. Funny enough, it’s garnered a lot of attention.”
Crowe divorced from singer Danielle Spencer in 2012. When he was asked why he named the auction the “Art of Divorce,” he said it was a way to let go. “Getting to this point with the divorce, and no matter how amicable the split is, you’ve still got to unwind things at a deep level,” he said. “I’ve never been somebody who deconstructs things, I’ve always been somebody who builds things. So it was quite a big lesson in life to become somebody who can deconstruct things. And I thought to myself, ‘While I’m in the middle of doing that, how else can I do that? How else can I apply that?’ And this is what I came up with.”
