Kanye West And Jay-Z “Otis” Maybach Auction Only Fetched $60,000

Last month we posted about the Maybach that was welded and cut carelessly for the Kayne and Jay-Z "Otis" music video to be up on the auction block. The company holding the auction guessed that the reformed Maybach would fetch around $100,000 to $150,000 or more. Sadly, the Maybach only fetched $60,000 in a very short amount of time. Owner and president of DUB magazine stated during an August 2011 MTV news interview that "The thing is, the value of that car is nothing now, you couldn't drive it on the street," due to the extensive work done cutting the roof, welding the doors, etc. Maybe the man who purchased it for purely nostalgia? The fact that he could? Why do you think he bought the car?

Kanye West And Jay-Z Auctioning Maybach 57 From Otis Music Video

Remember that $350,000 Maybach 57 that was ripped apart and modified into something from the future? The Maybach 57 is now up for auction, with all proceeds going to help the Save the Children charity organization. The luxury sedan was destroyed for the sake of art in a music video clip performed by Jay-Z and Kanye West for the remake of the classic song Otis. Auction firm Phillips de Pury & Company is managing the sale and predicts the Maybach 57 will fetch more than $100,000 when the auction takes place in New York City on March 8th.

Jay-Z Gets Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for 41st Birthday

Jay-Z scored a limited Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport that was put into production in the spring of 2009. This Grand Sport model has tons of extra reinforcement to compensate for the lack of a roof and small aerodynamic changes were done with things like the windshield and running lights. The top speed with the roof out (as pictured) is at 229mph. While no production numbers have been released that I can find on the Grand Sport is is much less common than the standard Veyron that T-Pain bought recently. I am sure Beyonce will get a big thank you for this one.
