This isn’t the first time Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest child has caused a stir at the annual luxury auction. In 2019, when she was just six years old, Blue Ivy bid $19,000 on another item auctioned at that year’s Wearable Art Gala.
The art connoisseur, who was six years old at the time, placed a bet on an acrylic painting by the young Sidney Poitier and entered into a bidding war with a mysterious rival.
That mystery bidder turned out to be none other than 53-year-old Tyler Perry, who didn’t even know he was betting against a child. “Somebody else bid against me,” Perry later said on NBC’s Today show after winning the bid with Blue Ivy. “I didn’t know who it was.”

“I look and it’s her,” said the influential director. “She’s taking the paddle out of Jay and Beyoncé’s hands and making a bet.”
Perry’s determination didn’t waver once he realized his competition was practically a kindergartener. “This guy didn’t beat me today,” he said of his determination. “You’re gonna learn today girl, I’m gonna get that picture.”

“Her mother and father talked about how you collect art, and that’s very important for African-Americans,” Jones said from the stage. The former The View host went on to add that this insight came directly from Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson.
