World's oldest Monopoly set sold for £90,000

The world's oldest Monopoly set has been auctioned off for £90,000.

The game was hand painted by heating engineer Charles Darrow in 1933, using place names and railways from Atlantic City in New Jersey, US, The Sun reported.

He sold the rights to Parker Brothers in 1934, and a London version came out the next year.

A museum bought the historic set at a sale in New York.
