This was one expensive selfie.
During Game 3 of the Los Angeles Clippers/Oklahoma City Thunder series in Los Angeles, Rihanna and L.A. Police Commission president Steve Soboroff sat next to each other at courtside. They proceeded to take a picture together on Soboroff's iPhone:

The bad news? Rihanna dropped the phone, cracking the screen. The good news? Rihanna signed the phone (which still worked), and through the help of EBay, Soboroff put the phone up for auction -- with all proceeds going to the Los Angeles Police Foundation.
Thanks to @rihanna, @SteveSoboroff has the best selfie story ever, all for a great cause! http://t.co/chICwtqHZC pic.twitter.com/MzewsiJeJs — eBay (@eBay) May 15, 2014
The phone, which started at $250 during auction on the site, finally sold for an amazing $66,500:
Thanks to Nick Schwartz of For The Win for this really cool story.
