But the Huffington Post reports the winning bidder was GoldenCasino.com, which begs the question of who gets to claim the auction's secondary prize: an exclusive invite to meet the "Never Say Never" singer during his next appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Early bidding started at a modest $20 but after only a week, the fight for a piece of the pop star climbed to more than $15,000. During the final hour of the auction, bidding surged to more than $40,000 with bid number 98 taking the prize.
