Richard Simmons' Effects See Another Auction Over A Year After His Death

A new auction has been scheduled for the late Richard Simmons' extensive doll collection.

During his lifetime, the fitness guru amassed a fascinating array of dolls, from creepy to adorable-looking figures in various shapes, colors, and sizes. Now, these dolls are up for grabs for as low as $300.

Richard Simmons took his final breath on July 13, 2024, a day after turning 76. His personal effects were previously for sale in an auction on his first death anniversary.

According to new reports, "more than 250" of Simmons treasured dolls are set to be auctioned off on December 6 at Theriault's in Annapolis, Maryland. The live auction event was titled "Marquis: The Art Doll Collection of Richard Simmons Cataloged Auction."

The official promotion for the event described many of the dolls on sale as "one-of-a-kind or extremely limited artist dolls," claiming these rare pieces featured various categories, including beautiful women, expressive children, fantasy, mythological, and whimsical dolls.

The list included a 28-inch doll of Barbra Streisand, which Simmons commissioned over 30 years ago. The Daily Mail reported that the masterpiece created by NIADA artist Lisa Lichtenfels was expected to be sold for $3,500.

Another pricey doll in the collection was Simmons' 25-inch Lisa Lichtenfels creation, worth between $1,800-$2,200.

Fans looking for something less expensive could try their luck bidding for Simmons' 6-inch eerie figurine called "Elf-Like Child Holding Little Doll." The doll created by NIADA artist Gail Lackey was estimated to sell between $300-$400 at auction.

A hand-sculpted doll of Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" had a starting bid of $700 but could sell for $900. There was also an 8-inch Elf with Blue Glass Eyes doll with a starting bid of $500. Another unique doll came from the "Nancy Latham Wistful Children Series" with a starting bid of $500.

The list continued with a rare figure of an ebony child created by artist Gloria Tepper. The life-like doll was part of the 321-piece lot and was expected to sell for $500 to $800. Those unable to make the live auction could send in their bids by telephone or participate in the internet bidding.

The upcoming auction of Simmons' beloved doll collection comes months after the first auction was scheduled on his first death anniversary. The Blast covered the story, reporting that his personal items and memorabilia were put up for sale in July.

Over 200 items from Simmons' life made the list, including his signature bedazzled tank tops and workout clothes alongside branded VHS tapes and more. The Bonhams Auction House in Los Angeles honored the deceased by starting the sale on July 12, 2025, which would have been his 77th birthday.

The auction ran from July 12 to July 24, with July 13 marking the first anniversary of Simmons' tragic passing. The sale of his belongings was an event many thought would never happen, given the drama between the late entertainer's family and his longtime house manager, Teresa Reveles.

The late weight loss expert's brother, Leonard Simmons, and his longtime house manager and companion began butting heads over his estate. Reveles accused Leonard of tricking her into signing away her rights as a co-trustee of Richard's estate.

On the other hand, Leonard claimed Reveles's claims were motivated by greed. Amid their allegations against each other, Richard's 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged was auctioned in December 2024 for $30,750.

Following the car's sale, Leonard dragged Reveles for theft, accusing her of stealing over $1 million worth of jewelry, Broadway musical lyrics, and more. He argued that these items had disappeared after he asked Reveles to leave Richard's Hollywood Hills residence.

Months after Reveles packed out of the property she had spent years living with Simmons, the home was placed on the market in June 2025 for $7 million. The Blast reported that it experienced a massive price slash in November to $5,889,999.

The property, where Simmons took his final breath in July 2024, featured over 4,000 square feet of living space. It came with a circular swimming pool, a pool house, a well-equipped gym, and more luxuries such as a primary suite complete with a dressing room.

Reveles, Simmons's longtime companion, addressed their close relationship a month after the property went on sale. The Blast shared that she dropped a shocking bombshell, claiming Simmons fell in love with her at first sight and never loved anybody the way he loved her.
