6ix9ine’s flashy jewelry and platinum plaques auctioned off by Market Auctions in South Florida after the IRS seized his assets for unpaid taxes, raking in massive sums far beyond initial estimates.
While the Hip-Hop star’s extravagant diamond-studded jewelry collection initially grabbed all the buzz, it was actually his platinum record plaques that stole the show, selling for prices three to four times higher than anticipated. 6ix9ine’s “BEBE” platinum plaque netted $24,320, followed by his plaque commemorating “GUMMO,” fetching $18,240.
Jacob Kodner, Managing Partner of Market Auctions said:
“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.

A Hermès Birkin bag went for $23,680, while a Cartier Santos stainless steel watch brought in $22,080. These prized possessions ended up on the auction block after a dramatic IRS raid in April 2024 at the rapper’s Lake Worth, Florida residence, resulting from his ongoing failure to settle tax debts. The sale was just another chapter in 6ix9ine’s ongoing financial and legal woes, which have included multiple lawsuits and judgments against the controversial rapper.
