There's a map of Disneyland that exists that was hand drawn by Walt Disney himself. He drew it with the help of artist Herb Ryan back in 1953 and according to Van Eaton Galleries, the map was used by Walt and Roy Disney "to secure the financing they needed in order to build the park.” It worked and as a result, the park opened two years later on July 17th, 1955.
The map sold to a very wealthy Disney fanatic, who paid $708,000! That's a lot of freaking cash! There's no information on who bought it, but auctioneers were hoping it would bring in $900,000. The previous owner was Ron Clark who bought it from a Disney employee 40 years ago. There's no doubt he made a good profit.
