Justin Bieber should grow his hair out for another round of trimming – surely there’s another charity that could use the kind of cash a lock of his hair goes for.<\/p>\n
Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that all she wanted for her birthday was world peace and a lock of Bieber’s hair, and the now 17-year-old star came through, swinging by DeGeneres’ daytime talk show in February to deliver the belated gift.<\/p>\n
The duo teamed up to turn the present into a fundraiser for The Gentle Barn, a nonprofit organization that rescues abused farm animals. DeGeneres auctioned the lock of hair on Ebay beginning February 23, and the final bid came in today at $40,668.<\/p>\n
The bidder will receive the lock of Bieber’s hair enclosed in a Plexiglas box signed by the Bieb himself, as well as a letter of authenticity signed by DeGeneres. According to one of DeGeneres’ tweets, the winner will also get to come on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” when Bieber’s a guest.<\/p>\n
Of course, 100 percent of the proceeds are going to The Gentle Barn.<\/p>\n
