This isn’t the first time Blue Ivy held her own in a luxury auction. Back in 2018, the then-6-year-old battled Tyler Perry for an acrylic painting of a young Sidney Poitier. After initially bidding $17,000 for the artwork, Blue upped her bid to $19,000, before bowing out to Perry, who captured the piece for $20,000, per Vanity Fair.
Later in the night, Blue came out a winner after bidding $10,000 on a a 36” x 36” art piece that was made out of deconstructed law and medical books. Check out footage of Blue Ivy bidding at the 2018 auction below.
