'Minimalist' Elton to Sell Entire House Contents
Wed Sep 24, 9:24 AM ET By Jeremy Lovell
LONDON (Reuters) - Pop star Elton John is selling off the
contents of his London home as he goes minimalist after a lifetime of
flamboyant extravagance, auctioning everything from Elizabethan
paintings to Art Deco beds.
The sale next week is expected to raise more than $1.3 million, with
prices ranging from $66 to $66,000 for items of furniture, paintings,
baubles and even a pair of stone poodles.

There is also a wall full of gold and platinum discs celebrating the
singer/pianist's prolific career spanning some three decades during
which he has earned -- and spent -- millions of dollars.
In fact, so commonplace are these discs that they are only expected to
command prices of a few hundred dollars each.

Another indicator of his money problems?
