The deep pink satin gown worn by Madonna in the 1984 music video Material Girl. Est, $40,000 - 60,000. <br />
<br />
A British hedge fund company is about to cash-in on a surprisingly-secure investment - Madonna.<br />
<br />
Marquee Capital was launched in 2005 looking for investors to raise a six-figure kitty to snap up celebrity memorabilia.<br />
<br />
The organisation bought more than 140 Madonna items, mostly costumes and jewellery, she wore during her movie and singing career.<br />
<br />
The goods included dozens of outfits from the 1996 hit musical Evita as well as the star's peach baseball dress and glove from her 1992 movie 'A League of Their Own' and a vest top and jeans she wore for her music video of American Pie.<br />
<br />
The sale takes place at LA-based Julien's Auctions on November 7.
