Kylie Kelce has said she found it ‘mind-boggling’ that a vintage Eagles jacket – signed by her – would sell for $100,000 at auction.
The iconic 1990s letterman jacket was made famous by Princess Diana. A signed version – autographed by the wife of Eagles center Jason Kelce – went on sale last month, with the proceeds going towards the Eagles Autism Foundation.
The price rose thanks to a bidding war between Rob McElhenney and a mystery rival that turned out to be his wife Kaitlin Olson.
The creator of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ and co-owner of Wrexham AFC was eventually forced to pay $100,000 for the jacket.
The spiralling bidding war suprised Kelce, who admitted: ‘It’s mind-boggling. I can’t thank them enough for being that generous… it’s pretty absurd.’

The 31-year-old was a guest on the latest episode of New Heights, the popular podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce.
‘I’m extremely grateful to the McElhenneys,’ she said. ‘We had absolutely no idea that auctioning one off would be able to (raise that much money).’
Chiefs star Travis Kelce also branded the frenzy ‘absurd’ but he praised his sister-in-law, telling her: ‘You killed it… you’re a star in every form of the word.’
Also on the epsiode, Travis revealed what Taylor Swift’s brother gifted him for Christmas as they celebrated the holidays together for the first time.

Austin flew in to Kansas City on Christmas morning with Taylor and their parents as they watched Kelce in action for the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce revealed that he was the man dressed as Santa who arrived with Taylor and sat next to her during the game.
Travis continued: ‘He nailed it, and he genuinely made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag, in the Santa sack.
‘He handed me a VHS of my all-time favorite football movie, Little Giants.’
