Pharrell Auctioning Personal Items on His New Platform Joopiter

Published Thu, September 29, 2022 at 4:16 PM EDT

Pharrell is auctioning off 52 personal items on his newly launched auction house platform Joopiter. The platform was founded by the super producer and its first auction is titled Son of a Pharaoh. It consists of a range of pieces, including the “Women’s Rights” motorcycle jacket he wore at the 2018 iHeartMusic Awards.

“The idea behind JOOPITER is to embrace the energy that is released when objects change hands, and to respect the value that’s been created around these objects,” Pharrell said in a press release. “JOOPITER is a new platform for myself and for my fellow curators, one where existing and future generations of collectors can feel welcome to take part in this exchange.” 

Other items in the Sons of Pharaoh collection include a Jacob & Co. N.E.R.D. brain pendant and chain circa 2004, an 18K yellow gold-encased BlackBerry circa 2006, a Princess Anne High School letterman jacket, and more. The collection will be available to be viewed by appointment at an auction preview event in New York next month. Additional information will be announced soon.

Pharrell isn't the only Hip-Hop star participating in auctions. Recent Kirpa auctions have included items from EPMD, Goodie Mob and Twista, While Kool Herc's memorabilia fetched more than half a million dollars at Christie's. Sotheby's Auction House in New York held its first ever Hip-Hop auction in 2020 where a plastic crown worn by The Notorious B.I.G. fetched $595,000.
