A rainy weekend didn't dampen the bidding at the Naples Winter Wine Festival. About $15.8 million was raised during the tented auction at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples on an unusually chilly and wet Saturday. 

Top offerings in the 63 auction lots included eight Double Magnums of Screaming Eagle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (sold for $350,000), a 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible ($550,000) and a 2019 McLaren 720S Spider convertible ($460,000). Since its inception in 2001, the festival has brought in $191 million for children's charities. 

And more keeps coming in. The online auction is open until Jan. 31. Click here to bid.
