Blue Ivy Carter Bid $19,000 At An Art Auction – And Jay Z Had To Fight For Her Paddle!
Blue Ivy Carter is a tastemaker in her own right!
Beyoncé and Jay Z's 6-year-old daughter stole the show at the 2nd Annual Wearable Art Gala, bidding in the tens of thousands in the gala's art auction.
In a series of viral videos captured by fans, Blue was seen boldly raising her paddle for an acrylic painting of the young Sidney Poitier. As the room laughed, Jay Z jokingly tried to wrestle the paddle out of his daughter's hand.
But Blue was undaunted; after Tyler Perry but in a bid $1,000 higher, she upped hers to $19,000.
"Let me tell you what's happening: her mother and father have been talking about how you gather art, and that is a big deal for African Americans," Star Jones, the auctioneer of the night, said on stage.
Tyler Perry eventually won the painting for a cool $20,000, while Jay Z adorably wrapped his arms around Blue, preventing her from outbidding him.
