Madonna has raised over $200,000 in a memorabilia auction timed to coincide with her world tour.

Top of the list was a beaded Dolce and Gabbana brassiere. It sold for $23,850, exploding estimated pre-sale prices of between $7,000 and $9,000.

The auction was jointly organised by online auctioneer Sothebys.com and New York memorabilia dealers Gotta Have It Collectables.

Other hot items included a black sequinned bustier, which sold for $20,550 and handwritten lyrics to the song Like a Prayer which fetched $20,000.

Gotta Have It Collectables assembled the items from private collectors and charity auctions.
