An auction of items from the hit TV show Succession has made $626,205.

The 236-lot event saw over 2,000 bidders try to secure a piece of the mega-wealthy Roy family's legacy in the Dallas-based Heritage Auctions' sale.

The top lot was Roman Roy’s eulogy that went undelivered at his father Logan’s funeral in the series’ penultimate episode, "Church and State."

Written across three pink notecards, with a fourth left blank, "heated bidding" over the props drove the final price to £19,600.

Another undelivered speech, Kendall’s prepared statement from Season Two’s finale, “This Is Not for Tears,” in which he was to take the fall for waystarROYCO’s cruise line scandal until he turned on Logan, realized £14,700.

The lot included two copies of the statement, including the one he tore up after walking off stage while his father seethed on the family yacht.

One of Succession’s most iconic pieces — the “ludicrously capacious” Burberry bag Greg’s date Bridget brought to Logan’s birthday party in the Season Four premiere “The Munsters” — also sold for £14,700. That lot also included the embroidered Sandro dress Bridget wore to the party.

Other sale highlights include Cousin Greg's theme park dog costume, which went for £6,100, and Kendall Roy's driver's licence and credit card, which achieved £7,800.

Heritage Auctions' said: "The entire auction did extraordinarily well, especially those significant props tied to unforgettable moments throughout Succession.

"Ultimately, this was an auction for the fans, who adore Jesse Armstrong’s masterpiece and wanted to own a part of it, whether it was something seen, worn or spoken."

Jax Strobel, Heritage Screenbid’s managing director, added: "And today, “those fans became collectors. We could not be more pleased with Saturday’s auction, and we’re sure those taking home a piece of the Roy legacy will feel the same way."
