As of July 2023, the Stefanie Canturi Barbie was the most expensive Barbie ever sold, having reached an auction price of more than 300 thousand U.S. dollars in 2010. The price was also pushed up by the doll's diamond necklace.
Barbie is a tall plastic doll invented by Ruth Handler in the United States back in the late 1950s. Ruth and her husband co-founded Mattel, Inc., which has become one of the world’s largest toy companies today. Just a couple of years after Barbie, Mattel brought out the doll’s number one companion, Ken. Both dolls were named after the Handlers’ children, Barbara and Kenneth.
