The collection included everything from gowns Streisand designed and wore in movies and concert appearances to her prescription eyeglasses and customized 1986 Ford mobile home van.
In all, the 421 items up for auction were worth an estimated $600,000, said Darren Julien of Julien Entertainment, which organized the event.
Proceeds will go to the Streisand Foundation, which helps promote civil liberties, democratic values, women's issues, AIDS research and other causes.
About 100 people attended the auction at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Also, bidders were able to participate online at www.Julien Entertainment.com.
