MATTHEW PERRY ESTATE AUCTION RAISES £1 MILLION

Personal belongings from the estate of actor Matthew Perry sold at auction for approximately £1 million. The sale included two original Banksy artworks from Perry's personal collection. Friends memorabilia featured among the items that went under the hammer. The auction drew significant buyer interest across multiple lot categories.

The two Banksy works formed the centrepiece of the sale and accounted for a substantial portion of the total figure. Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the long-running sitcom Friends, had collected the works during his lifetime. The Friends memorabilia offered buyers direct connections to one of television's most recognised series. The combined £1 million result reflects the breadth and value of Perry's personal collection.

The sale marks a formal dispersal of Perry's estate following his death in October 2023. Proceeds from auction sales of this kind typically pass to the estate and its designated beneficiaries. The inclusion of certified Banksy originals places this estate auction within a wider market for blue-chip street art. The result establishes a public record of the financial value attached to Perry's personal effects.
