This like buying death row chains at the mall kiosks.

You ain’t affiliated with them so why buy it? Unless you want to display them in your crib which is corny.

Them pockets must be wearing thin:francis:

Total opposite I think.

He’s probably lookin at a lot of those pieces like he hasn’t worn them in a decade. They’re fire to many but probably look stupid af to him these days.

So why not auction them off, let some fans have a forever memorabilia piece, and use that money towards other ventures? He works with adidas now, has his own line of clothing and skincare products with HumanMade, and like someone else said he’s got production / writing credits on classic records over the last 20 years. He’s not hurting for money

Pretty big come up. Custom jewelry is typically worth a fraction of it's original cost and used diamonds depreciate worse than cars. He using his celebrity to buck both those trends and get premium dollar for his pieces. Wonder if more celebrities try something like this

Two on the far right and the one on the far left… I’m a sucker for that style piece.

For sure its hard to believe. But he may have had really bad spending habits...and the tax man is taking half. R. Kelly has a million hits too but still had money problems before he was arrested. We assume that Pharrell is "smarter" :mjpls: but you never know...


:ohhh: 11 storage garages huh? That Nigo influence.

Pharrell is never going broke with the amount of royalties he brings in and he can sell his catalog for 8-9 figures.

The pieces were already auctioned and some of them went for 10x what they were worth.
Where's his wealth going once he passes away though? Dude has no kids or anything

Can't remember who said it, but there was a rumor Pharrell had already had money and tax issues like 10 years ago. He got it back when I'm Happy became a huge hit...allegedly
He was in the hole after the financial crisis I think. Yeah he got out once happy became a hit.
