The digital auction, hosted by Pharrell’s platform Joopiter, featured 75 items from Cudi’s personal collection, spanning jewelry, sneakers, artwork, and vintage apparel.

The biggest sale came from a custom Jacob & Co 14-karat N.E.R.D. pendant, originally commissioned by Pharrell in 2005. Cudi had acquired it at a prior auction but put it back on the block, where it sold for $243,750, which is more than double its estimate.

Another standout piece was a one-of-a-kind Ben Baller x Takashi Murakami x Kid Cudi chain, which pulled in $187,500, slightly below its $200,000 guide price. A pair of Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers designed by the late Virgil Abloh fetched $82,500.

The “Better Place” star also parted with a Ben Baller chain crafted in his likeness, made of 18-karat gold, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, which sold for $43,750. Fans with deep pockets scooped up rare vintage music T-shirts, including originals from Eminem, Nirvana, and Michael Jackson.

Cudi previously praised the hip-hop auction platform, and told GQ, “Joopiter has been wanting to do something with me for a while, so I recently reached out to the team and let them know I had some stuff I was willing to part with, things I’ve collected throughout my career.”

Speaking on the Michael Jackson shirt, he added: “It’s just really rare when you find them because everybody sees them and they buy ’em up.”
