Matthew Perry Estate to Auction About 130 Personal Items on June 5

Proceeds will fund the Matthew Perry Foundation’s expansion of evidence-based addiction treatment programs.

Overview

  • Heritage Auctions will hold a live and online sale in Dallas on June 5, 2026, offering roughly 129–130 lots from Perry’s estate with proxy bidding and public previews held in Beverly Hills.
  • The catalog mixes high-value art and fan memorabilia, including Banksy works (Girl with Balloon and Nola) estimated near $1 million, signed Friends scripts from the pilot and finale, and personal items such as Perry’s Batman-emblem Memorigin watch and a custom “Mattman” mask.
  • Executors and Heritage Auctions say net proceeds are earmarked for the Matthew Perry Foundation, which the estate set up to fund evidence-based addiction care and reduce stigma around substance use disorder.
  • The sale follows a lengthy federal investigation into Perry’s 2023 death from the acute effects of ketamine, with multiple people convicted and sentenced—most notably Jasveen Sangha’s 15-year term—and one defendant pending sentencing.
  • The auction serves both as a fundraiser and a public commemoration of Perry’s life, and buyers and fans should expect a mix of work-related props, intimate personal effects, and collectible art that could draw strong bidding and media attention.
