A swimsuit left in a pool by the Swedish Australian actress Nicole Kidman was auctioned on Saturday to buy cows for poor families in India."The swimsuit went to the highest bidder for 16200 kronor (2500 $ 1720 euros). That's enough to buy nine cows," the suit of the previous owner Zlatko Nedanovski, 32, told AFP.
Last Wednesday, a day in the week auction, Nedanovski said he hoped to raise enough to buy five cows, or about 9000 crowns, as part of a project managed by the Swedish aid Erikshjaelpen organization.
"This amazing going well," he said, acknowledging, however, that he would miss the costume that has been exposed in a second-hand store in the south of the Swedish city of Esloev for the past five years.
"I felt it was time, the swimsuit has been used to help others, but it feels a little empty without him," he said.
Kidman, a great swimmer, forgot the suit at the pool, it had reserved for his personal use, in the southwest of the city in 2002 during a visit to Sweden Vaenersborg to turn Lars von Trier "Dogville".
Pool personnel found and handed over to a local radio station.
Nedanovski then bought the jersey 5500 crowns.
Submissions for the swimsuit had come from all over the world, Nedanovski said, but finally he went to 49 years of Sweden Bengt Olsen movie Trollheattan city, just south of Vaenersborg.
"I think it's great that the trial was adjourned to Sweden's film capital," Olsen told AFP.
"And I hope that the swimsuit raise more funds for more cows for more poor Indian families," he said, explaining that he planned to charge a small fee for people to visualize adapt and use the proceeds to buy more cows.
