6ix9ine's Luxurious Cars and Jewelry Up for Auction in July 2024
The sensational rapper, 6ix9ine, has once again captured the spotlight as his seized assets, including valuable jewelry, hit the auction block recently.
According to reports from Newsweek, the IRS has put up several of 6ix9ine's high-end jewelry pieces for auction on LiveAuctioneers, an authorized platform for the government to recoup unpaid taxes.
One of the most notable items up for sale is the iconic "Bruce the Shark" diamond pendant, inspired by the character from Finding Nemo. Designed by Jimmy Boi Jewelers, this pendant boasts a massive 118-carat weight, adorned with 16 carats of trillion-cut diamonds for the shark's teeth.
Featuring a dazzling 102 carats of diamonds, the pendant is crafted from 10-karat white gold and bears Hernandez's signature "69" on the back, along with the phrases "Done Right" and "#Teamdoneright."
Despite its lavish appearance, the pendant exhibits signs of wear, with visible cracks and damage on the back. It gained recognition for its appearances in several of the rapper's music videos, notably in songs like "Gooba" and "Trollz" with Nicki Minaj.
Aside from his extravagant jewelry, 6ix9ine's 2017 Bentley Continental GT Speed and 2019 Lamborghini Urus were also part of the government auction in July 2024. According to AllHipHop, the Bentley fetched a winning bid of $85,500, while the Lamborghini went for $175,043 through the U.S. General Services Administration.
Both vehicles showcased the rapper's distinctive paint-splattered design. Although the Bentley required substantial repairs due to shattered windows, a damaged windshield, and a torn convertible top, the Lamborghini remained in relatively good shape, with just over 49,000 miles on the odometer.
These items were confiscated in April following 6ix9ine's arrest in the Dominican Republic for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. The rapper had been apprehended in January for the December 2023 incident, leading to a brief jail stint before his conditional release.
This latest legal entanglement adds to 6ix9ine's extensive criminal history, which includes a 2015 conviction for using a minor in a sexual performance and a 2019 guilty plea for racketeering and firearms charges related to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Despite his cooperation with authorities and testimony against former associates, 6ix9ine continues to grapple with legal and financial woes.
