Gene Simmons Picks Up Pricey Shades At Charity Auction

GENE SIMMONS PICKS UP PRICEY SHADES AT CHARITY AUCTION

May 6, 2009

Rocker Gene Simmons has blinged up his image – he paid $20,000 for a pair of gold sunglasses.

The Kiss bass player snapped up the 18-karat shades at an auction for wonderwall.com‘s Rally for Kids with Cancer campaign.

And the generous rocker also donated his own lot to the sale – a bidder paid $100,000 for exclusive backstage access to a Kiss show.

A guest at the auction, which raised more than $400,000, tells the New York Daily News, “He bought 18-karat gold sunglasses for $20,000, among other things. Gene also donated a trip with his band when they travel on their tour.”
