Madonna Bustier Auctioned For $72,000 (PHOTOS)

You don't need to wait to die a legend to have your precious pieces auctioned off, a la Elizabeth Taylor.

Madonna is already ready to say good-bye to some of her most famous outfits. The pop star's iconic black bustier from her 1987 Who's That Girl? Tour bustier was auctioned off for $72,000, far surpassing original estimated values of $6,000-$8,000.

The Trashy Lingerie top (yep, that's the brand name) features a black bodice with gold features... and those famous black tassles on the bust.

Madonna wore it on tour with black fishnets and little else, beginning a sartorial habit that she'd stick to on her 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour with that famous Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra.

The Daily Mail reports that the tasseled top was just one of 517 pieces auctioned off on in Macau on Saturday, as pieces from Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley also hit the chopping block. More Madonna pieces went as well, for a total of $100,000.

That's a sum that would make any Material Girl undoubtedly happy.

Get a taste of vintage Madonna and see the bustier in its original form in the pictures below!

I can't imagine why anyone would want it either, but the auction house got a commission for selling it and they in turn pay salaries. You know, that thing that allows employess to pay mortgage or rent payments, put food on the table, maybe raise a family and etc.

I love how guys just want to "bang" women and then in turn call women who have slept around less than they have - as something that needs to be disinfected.

Get over your self.

Did the person get bailout money for this? Does this mean she's on the way down that she has to raise money in this fashion?
I want to for a moment about her religion. I understand she practices Kabala. Not knowing what it is I researched it. It is a section of Judiaism. It's designed to interpret the Bible, or Torah, in a profound manner. Any claim that she is being taught a new religion is bogus and anybody doing the teaching is a charlatan. She is being scammed.
