Notorious BIG’s Crown Sells for Half a Million Dollars
Raise your hand if you’d like to sell a plastic toy for half a mill right about now? Yeah, same here. If only you owned the plastic crown Notorious BIG wore in his iconic final photoshoot.
The headpiece Biggie wore in his iconic final photoshoot from 1997 — that’s been duplicated in prints thousands of times over — just got sold off in a Sotheby’s auction … ultimately going to a bidder who was willing to spend a whopping $594,750 for the thing.
Pretty badass, right?!? Well, maybe … keep in mind, the crown is actually made of plastic — and ended up costing the photog who first used it with Biggie a mere $6 off the street.
As they say, heavy is the head that wears the crown. And, even heavier is the price tag.
