According to the Daily Mail, collector Flanagan recognised the limited edition bear, but not knowing its full value, was happy to pay up £5 for the teddy treat.
It was only when the couple googled the bear, and its rarity, did they realise that they had just bought into a fortune.
Only 100 Princess Diana Di Beanie Babies first edition bears were created in the world, in a bid to raise money for the Princess of Wales Memorial Trust.
The bear is now on eBay starting at £30,000, with auctioneers estimating the bear could reap up to £100,000.
