Sharapova auctioned for $10,000

Tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has auctioned herself off for a date to support charity. The winning bid came in at $10,000. That's U.S. dollars not Yen... however, that sounds like a great deal to me. We could even take 50 EyeGossip users -- preferably men -- and split that up 50 ways ($200 per person). The date would have been weird as each of us would get 5 minutes to say hello, get an autograph and potentially a kiss on the cheek. OK... that may be expensive for $200 but Maria is worth it.

Who's with me??

Ny Daily News reports that Sharapova put herself up for auction at the Bryan Brothers' All-Star Tennis Smash charity event last weekend. Sharapova joked that her boyfriend will outbid any lucky guy... but that didn't happen as some lucky guy won the date for just $10,000. I love what Yahoo! Sports blogger had to say... "Sharapova took in $26 million last year, making her the world's best-paid female athlete. That means that for her, a $10,000 bid is the equivalent of getting taken out for a McDonald's Extra Value Meal. She's lovin' it!"
