Los Angeles - South African-born actress Charlize Theron auctioned off a kiss for 140,000 dollars, and the winning bidder was a woman, US magazine reported Friday. Theron, 34, took part in a live auction during a gala for the charity OneXOne Thursday in San Francisco. She was initially selling a 2010 trip to South Africa that included World Cup tickets, a safari and a meet-and-greet with Nelson Mandela.
But she raised the stakes after bidding stalled at 37,000 dollars, far less than actor Jeremy Piven had just raised.
To sweeten the deal, she offered up a seven-second kiss for 130,000 to a male bidder, but a woman in the audience quickly bettered the deal with a 140,000-dollar bid.
Theron is in a long-term relationship with actor Stuart Townsend, 36.
"My boyfriend is not here tonight," she joked before a smooch that lasted 20 seconds.
