The auction, titled The Art of Divorce, took place on the actor’s 54th birthday and the 15th anniversary of his wedding to singer Danielle Spencer.
More surprisingly, a costume that Crowe wore in the same 2003 film was not far behind, raking in A$115,000 (£62,679).
A 128-year-old Italian violin that Russell Crowe learned to play in a few months before starring in Master And Commander stole the show among film memorabilia on offer at the Oscar-winning actor’s auction.
The pair sold for A$10,000 (£5,450), while Sotheby’s had anticipated between A$10,000 (£5,450) and $A15,000 (£8,189).
