Scarlett Johansson put herself on the auction block — and it paid off well for the actress and the Oxfam relief organization.

The eBay auction, which was for charity, closed with a winning bid of $40,100 by a lucky bidder who lives in England, Page Six reports. The winner will get to accompany the star to the premiere of her upcoming film, “He’s Just Not That Into You.”

Oxfam is an organization which "works to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice," according to Oxfam.org.

However, Johansson isn't the first starlet to put herself up for bids.

In 2002, Charlize Theron auctioned off a chance to have dinner with her on eBay. A California man shelled out $38,000 to meet the actress, according the New York Post. Proceeds from the dinner went to the South African Children's Charity Project.
