A lot apparently.
A Punahou School basketball jersey believed to be worn by the 44th president of the United States sold at Heritage Auctions in Dallas for $120,000 over the weekend.

The winning bidder did not wish to be identified, and a portion of the winning bid will reportedly go to the prep school.
The No. 23 jersey was discovered by Seattle resident Peter Noble, who was three years younger than Obama at Punahou. He said he kept the jersey because he also wore it in high school and didn’t realize that they shared the number until Obama became president.
