Pharrell Williams announced the launch of his online auction house, Joopiter, in September.
Among the items is a gold-encased Blackberry that sold for $22,500 and a Louis Vuitton trunk that sold for $79,000.
On Oct. 13, the music mogul invited famous friends to view his private collection before the online auction.
Pharrell Williams’ online closet clean-out attracted six-figure bids for his luxury — and quirky — “clutter.”
The music mogul announced the launch of his online auction site, Joopiter, in September, putting several personal items on the block. Bidding closed Thursday. Some of the higher price tags included $76,000 for a pair of Oakley sunglasses, $79,000 for a Louis Vuitton trunk, and $510,000 for a necklace.
These diamond-encrusted Oakley sunglasses were estimated at $50,000-$75,000, according to Joopiter.

As the hours of the online auction ticked down, the blinged-out sunglasses, a gold-encased Blackberry phone, and a diamond-encrusted dice set continued to attract high bids.
According to Joopiter’s official site, most, if not all, of the items are products of Williams’ years-long friendship with jeweler Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co.
While the jewelry fetched the most expensive bids, even relatively mundane items — like a striped shirt Williams wore in a music video — went for no less than $1,000.
Representatives of Joopiter didn’t immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment on where the auction proceeds would end up. However, the music producer has mentioned plans to expand into philanthropy, according to the Insider report.
This set of 5 diamond-encrusted dice is estimated to be worth $15,000-$25,000. The closing bid came in at $15,000.

On Oct. 13, Williams invited famous friends to view the collection in his New York City showroom. Guests included rappers Tyler, the Creator, and Jaden Smith, and actor LaKeith Stanfield.
Williams expressed his need to declutter and begin “a new era” in a September Instagram post and in an interview with Financial Times.
“My business manager was like, ‘Hey, at this point, you have 11 different storage units,'” Williams said in the interview.
In the FT report, Williams shared his plan to one day open the auction site to more collectors selling their luxury items.
“There’s not really one size fits all,” Williams said. “I’m not going to sell furniture on StockX. You know what I’m saying? I’m not going to sell, you know, 20-plus-carat diamond rings on (The) RealReal.”
