Liz Taylor's jewels sell for £75million

AN auction of legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor's world-renowned jewels has fetched an incredible £75MILLION.

The huge sum has more than doubled the old record for a single-owner collection.

The auction, at Christie's in New York, went past the previous best of £32m just halfway through the four-hour sale.

Many of the 80 items offered had been given to the screen icon, who died in March this year aged 79, by her two-time husband, actor Richard Burton.
