    BEIJING, March 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Two diaries discarded by Anna Nicole Smith that were purchased cheaply by a Los Angeles memorabilia shop owner then sold to a group of investors brought more than 500,000 U.S. dollars in an eBay auction Thursday, plus a 20 percent buyer's premium.

    An unnamed German businessman bought the two diaries, an auction house official said. The late Playboy model's handwritten 1992 diary was sold for 282,500 dollars and her 1994 diary went for 230,000 dollars.

    The buyer wished to remain anonymous but planned to sell the information to various media outlets, then resell the diaries by the end of the year, said Thomas Riccio, a partner in Universal Rarities, the Corona, California-based auction house that handled the sale.

    The "soap opera value" of the dairies could be worth more than 1 million dollars alone, including the rights to publish photos of the pages, Riccio said Friday.

    Smith, 39, was found dead February 8 in Hollywood, Florida. The cause of her death is under investigation, and authorities plan to release autopsy results Monday.

    Smith's 1992 diary consists of 26 entries from January to August, and the 1994 one contains about 30 pages from January to July, Riccio said. The entries show a moody and complicated woman, Riccio said.

    Among the entries was Smith discussing her husband, elderly Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, whom she married in 1994 and who died the next year.

    "It was a okay day," she wrote of June 11, 1992. "I had lunch with Howard. Someone ran over my cat yesterday. I was real sad."

    In a 1994 entry, she wrote about his illness.

"My husbands very weak. Theres (sic) nothing I can do," she wrote. "I want each hour to comfort him with medicines and prayers."

    Also Friday, Frederic von Anhalt, the husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor, who says he fathered Smith's 6-month-old daughter, provided a DNA sample in the ongoing dispute about the paternity of the child. He said he wanted to raise the child if he was the father.

    Von Anhalt, 59, said he was "almost sure the baby's mine," after having a cotton swab brushed along the inside of his mouth for the DNA test. He added he hopes to gain custody as soon as possible.

    He says he carried on a decades-long affair with Smith. A judge in the Bahamas on Tuesday ordered a DNA test on the girl at the request of Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who has also claimed paternity. Howard K. Stern, Smith's companion, is listed as the father on the baby's birth certificate.

    Immediately after von Anhalt gave his sample at an Identigene Lab, his lawyer, Edward Lee, called on Stern to do the same.
