Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt To Sell Gabor's Furs

Thursday 17th February 2011 - 15:00:00

Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt is auctioning off his wife Zsa Zsa Gabor's fur coats in a bid to raise cash to pay for her mounting medical fees.
�
The ailing actress, 94, has been in and out of hospital in recent months and had part of her right leg amputated in January (11) to prevent the spread of an infection.
�
Von Anhalt recently revealed their finances were dwindling as a result of Gabor's health woes, forcing him to place the couple's sprawling Bel Air mansion on the market.
�
Now he's hoping he can boost funds further by selling the 14 fur coats the TV star has in storage.
�
Von Anhalt claims the monthly storage costs of $1,200 (�800) are a big burden on top of the $200,000 (�133,330) he has already paid in medical bills, and he is aiming to bank $100,000 (�66,670) from the online auction.
�
He says, "I need the money, and I need the cash. The storage doesn't make sense because my wife is not going to wear them again."
