10 Famous Movie Props That Sold For Ridiculous Prices

4. Indy's Fedora (Indiana Jones)

Sale Price: $504,000

Most people who have seen Indiana Jones probably wish they could be Indiana Jones, and while globe-trotting adventures and death-defying stunts will be off-limits for most normal folk, at least his outfit is simple enough to recreate.

Alternatively, if you wanted to splash the cash and shell out for the real thing... then you'd better be prepared to do a lot of splashing.

Just last year, one of the fedoras sported by Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movies sold for a jaw-dropping $504,000 (£393,600) at an auction in London. The hat also came packing Ford's signature on the inner band, and was described as being worn "extensively" by the actor.

Ford wore this specific hat during many iconic scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark, including shooting the swordsman, the Well of Souls, and the fight against the hulking German underneath the propeller of an airplane.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
