Steve Jobs' used Birkenstocks sold for an eye-watering $218,000 (S$299,000) at auction. The late Apple founder's crumpled leather sandals, still with the imprint of his feet, had previously been sold for $2,000 by his former house manager, Mark Sheff, in 2016. The tech mogul died from pancreatic cancer in 2011, aged 56, and left behind an array of items that.
According to the auction house, the brown suede Birkenstock Arizonas were worn by Jobs in the 1970s and 1980s during "many pivotal moments in Apple's history."
The old Birkenstocks leather sandals previously used by the late Apple founder has recently gone under the hammer for nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
