Rick Ross is hustlin’ to help underserved entrepreneurs.
The music mogul and hip-hop titan, 48, has partnered with Julien’s Auctions to auction off his exclusive collection of street and contemporary art, rare sneakers, designer wear, music memorabilia and other prized possessions — for a good cause.
Proceeds from the Push It to the Limit–Luxury & Lifestyle: A Rick Ross Auction will benefit the Boss Up Grant, a program helping underserved entrepreneurs who lack access to affordable credit and capital.
Among the auction items are 300 rare sneakers, including more than 150 pairs of Air Jordans, and Michael Jackson memorabilia.
The two-day auction starts June 25 at 10 a.m. PT.
Bidding is available online at Julien’s Auctions, in-person in Los Angeles or over the phone by calling 310-836-1818.
The Michael Jackson memorabilia includes a sealed ONE by Cirque du Soleil light-up glove, a sealed Bad 25th anniversary vinyl, a Thriller album-themed 1866 William Knabe & Co. grand piano.
