Two separate bids were made at $50,000, to which the Australian star chose to accept for the joint luncheon.
‘You’ll be the first ones to christen my new dining table. The house has just been finished,’ Rebel said to the crowd at the event.
Rebel, who is a self-confessed ‘cashed up bogan’ owns homes across the globe worth more than $17 milllion.
It’s believed her luncheon will be hosted at her $3.76 million Birchwood waterfront property in Sydney – after its recent $900,000 renovation construction last year.

Her charitable auction came just hours after Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban donated $500,000 to the Rural Fire Service.
Nicole said she was ‘devastated’ about what was happening in Australia, while speaking to Studio 10 from the Gold Meets Golden event in Los Angeles.
Nicole and Keith’s large donation on Sunday came hours after pop-star Pink, real name Alecia Beth Moore, pledged the same amount.
