Tekashi 6ix9ine’s pricey jewelry and platinum plaques both hit Market Auctions in South Florida where they sold for far more than expected after the IRS seized his assets for unpaid taxes. Jacob Kodner, Managing Partner of Market Auctions, revealed to AllHipHop that over 90 percent of the items went for more than their initial value estimates. “We saw major buyers acquiring multiple pieces, whether it was several plaques or a combination of luxury items,” Kodner explained. “This wasn’t merely fan-driven, it was a serious auction for high-end collectors.” The sales included a Hermès Birkin that went for $23,680 as well as Cartier Santos watch that sold for $22,080.
Kodner also revealed that the platinum plaque for Tekashi 6ix9ine’s “BEBE” went for $24,320, while the one for his debut single, “Gummo,” sold for$18,240. “This was the sleeper hit of the auction,” Kodner explained. “Collectors and fans alike recognized these plaques as irreplaceable pieces of music history. Buyers weren’t just investing in memorabilia, they were investing in legacy. Each award represents a significant moment in music history, and we believe that’s what drove these impressive prices.”
