Matthew Perry's Personal Items, ‘Friends’ Memorabilia Head To Auction After Actor's Death

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Personal items owned by the late Matthew Perry — including memorabilia from the hit TV show "Friends" — will go up for auction next month as part of a charity effort supporting addiction recovery programs.

“The Matthew Perry Estate Auction” is set to take place June 5, with proceeds benefiting the Matthew Perry Foundation, a nonprofit focused on expanding access to treatment and reducing stigma surrounding substance use disorders.

Heritage Auctions said the collection offers a window into Perry’s personal interests and professional milestones, while also serving a broader purpose tied to the actor’s advocacy work.

“Matthew Perry was someone people felt they truly knew,” said Joe Maddalena, executive vice president at Heritage Auctions. “This auction brings together the personal items and passions that shaped his life … and allows that connection to do real good.”

Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing on “Friends,” was also outspoken about his struggles with addiction and became an advocate for recovery later in life. He died in 2023 of a ketamine overdose.

The foundation established in his name supports a range of initiatives aimed at improving access to evidence-based care and supporting individuals in recovery.

According to the organization, funds raised from the auction will help support programs including a fellowship in addiction medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, grants for grassroots recovery organizations and partnerships such as Healing Appalachia, a large sober music festival focused on recovery awareness.

Among the most notable auction items are materials tied to “Friends,” including a collection of 26 scripts for key episodes like “The One With Ross’s Tan,” “The One Where Joey Speaks French” and the two-part series finale. A cast-signed pilot script and a signed copy of the finale episode — bearing the signatures of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Perry and David Schwimmer — are also included.

Other television-related items include Perry’s Screen Actors Guild Award for ensemble performance in a comedy series, along with nomination certificates, and a replica of the iconic yellow peephole frame from Monica’s apartment door.

The sale also features artwork by internationally known artists, including Banksy and Mel Bochner, as well as a novelty piece from a 2016 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! — a framed “Mattman” portrait inspired by Batman.

In addition, bidders will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets to the premiere of "The Batman Part II," currently slated for release in 2027.
