Brad and Angelina Sell Baby to Raise Money for Orphans

NEW YORK -- Just days after the birth of their first child, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have sold their baby to raise money for orphans, according to reports.

The stars' publicist has confirmed reports that Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, who was born May 27 in Namibia, was sold at a silent auction in London late last week. The auction proceeds will be donated to non-profit groups in Namibia and Cambodia.

"Brad and Angelina were truly, truly touched by the orphans they met in their travels," said Cindy-Jo Kranfeld.

"They had been thinking of ways to raise awareness and money for this cause, and then they realized they had been given the perfect opportunity" in Shiloh Nouvel, added Kranfeld.

The winning bid and the identity of the bidder were not disclosed, though experts estimated the value of the celebrity baby in the "low seven figures."
