Published April 26th, 2008
Santa Monica Pier Ferris wheel has become a wheel of fortune for an area charity.
The ride was sold at auction on eBay on Friday for $132,400, with half the proceeds going to Special Olympics Southern California.
The owners of the Pacific Park amusement park decided to get a more modern Ferris wheel and auction off the current one, with a starting bid of $50,000.
The 10-day auction ended Friday, and real estate developer Grant Humphreys, CEO of Humphreys Real Estate Investments in Oklahoma City, put in the top bid.
