Blue Ivy Carter Gets into Bidding War for Diamond Earrings, Offered $80k

Blue Ivy Carter had some play money to throw around at an auction this weekend — but even her sky-high allowance has limits, it seems, ’cause she lost out on pair of diamond earrings.

Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s 10-year-old placed an $80,000 bid on some diamond earrings Saturday night during the Wearable Art Gala in L.A. — where stars were out in abundance. Keke Palmer and Blue’s grandma, Tina Knowles, were heading up this portion of the purchases.

Check it out … BIC shot her paddle up when the Lorraine Schwartz jewelry got called out, surprising the auctioneers on stage. Unfortunately for Blue, someone else wanted them more.

Monique Rodriguez — founder of the beauty company Mielle Organics — got in on the action as well … via her husband, Melvin, who started throwing up his own paddle, going higher and higher until Blue eventually tapped out in the six-figure range.

The Rodriguezes walked away with the bedazzled earpieces at $105k, and Monique proudly showed them off on social media. It’s not the first time Blue’s lost in an auction either.

In 2018, Tyler Perry topped her for a painting of Sidney Poitier, on which she bid $19k, but TP was determined to take it out … and did. As he noted at the time, he wasn’t about to be beaten by a child — even if she is Jay and Bey’s kid.
