Auction of Matthew Perry’s Belongings to Support Addiction Foundation Matthew Perry’s life is being retold in objects: a beloved watch, childhood mementos, hit‑sitcom scripts and Banksy art — all headed under the hammer in Dallas, with his long fight against addiction now the cause they’ll fund.

A legacy put on the block

In late May, Serbian and international outlets began flagging an unusual celebrity sale: more than 130 of the late actor’s belongings — “from ‘Friends’ scripts to Banksy art” — would be auctioned on 5 June in Dallas. Another report framed it simply as “Matthew Perry’s items up for auction in June,” underscoring that a portion of the proceeds will support the Matthew Perry Foundation, which helps people with addiction problems.

A third account stressed the eclectic spread “from Friends scripts to Banksy,” again highlighting that money raised will go to the foundation assisting those struggling with addiction.

From sitcom fame to public struggle

Coverage leans heavily on Perry’s dual identity: Chandler Bing, the quip machine from NBC’s “Friends,” and Perry the advocate, who tried to turn his very public battle with substance abuse into a lifeline for others. One outlet notes that the auction will include scripts from the “cult” series, artworks by Banksy, his favorite wristwatch and “memories from childhood,” presented as “various items from the actor’s life … from childhood to adulthood,” according to a Heritage Auctions representative.

Turning grief into funding

All three perspectives converge on a single narrative: this is not just memorabilia trading hands, but a posthumous continuation of Perry’s mission. The Matthew Perry Foundation, created so he could use his “fame and experience with addiction” to help others, is cast as the main beneficiary of a sale that transforms private possessions into public good. For fans, the June 5 auction offers a chance to own a piece of TV history — and to bankroll the kind of help Perry wished he’d had earlier.
