Someone was really eager to own a piece of Justin Bieber's luscious locks!

A day after getting his hair cut, "The Biebes" made a special cameo on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to give the daytime host a piece of his hair for an auction benefiting her favorite charity.

Bieber's hair, which came in a signed box, won a whopping $40,668 on eBay this week. The Gentle Barn Foundation, Ellen's favorite animal rescue charity, has a lot of money coming its way!

The winning bidder will also get a chance to meet Bieber the next time he appears on DeGeneres' show, which is probably part of the reason the hair sold for such an outrageous sum.

We can't wait to see who paid almost half a hundred grand to meet "The Biebes"!

The Gentle Barn's mission is "To rescue, rehabilitate and give sanctuary to abused animals." Ellen and Portia have a cow, Madonna, who you can actually help support for $40 a month. According to the website, Madonna the cow was taken away from her mom at birth and put into a dark veal crate for eight weeks. She was chained so she couldn't walk and stabbed with a pitchfork to make her get into the truck to slaughter. Her wounds have healed but it will take time for her heart to be fully recovered. Sounds like a great cause!
