A model and wealth advisor bought his 15 minutes of fame for $47,000 on eBay. Mr. Farrow was the high bidder for the auction that was advertised as a seat on the panel of ABC's "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher." The television show features host Bill Maher with guests discussing various opinions about the hot issues of the day. The show aired last night. Mr. Farrow appeared dressed in rock-star-style leather clothing - and no shirt.
