Jay-Z & Sotheby's Are Auctioning Off A Bottle Of Cognac Worth Up To $75,000

Jay-Z truly lives the life of a fly retired rich man. Everytime I see pictures of him- he is always doing some wholesome rich person activity. Like jet skiing with a hamlet because he is cautious in his older age and he also is securing his bag-meaning keeping himself safe because he knows his wife be willdin’ on vacations. Bey is jumping off of 30-foot yachts as Jay looks on. 

Have you noticed the evolution of Jay’s vacation style from the early 2000s to present? Before he was with Beyonce, he was in Timbs and Air Forces on the beach, now he is doing yoga barefoot in Hawaii. The upgrade is real, B. 

Jay-Z just announced that his cognac brand, D’USSE, will be auctioning off an ultra-rare bottle of the 1969 Anniversaire Limited Edition collection with Sotheby's as a part of the auction house's Finest & Rarest Spirits sale this March. 

They’re expecting to pull in anywhere from $25,000 to $75,000 from the sale of this very fancy Grande Champagne Cognac that has aged for decades in a single barrel at France's storied Château de Cognac, maturing under the expert eye of D’USSE's Cellar Master Michel Casavecchia. 

According to Business Spirits, “The liquid comes from one of the oldest Cognac houses in France, Château de Cognac. It was bottled from a rare single barrel and was matured for decades in a 200-year-old cellar.”

Jay-Z said: “When our cellar master, Michel Casavecchia, discovered the aged liquid at the Château de Cognac and explained how truly one of a kind it is, it was important to me to honour it by doing something that would celebrate its singularity. Once that barrel is emptied, there’s no way the liquid can be recreated.”

“The whole process behind the 1969 Anniversaire collection reminded me why I got involved in the spirits industry in the first place – to create something that will stand the test of time.

“It means a lot that we’re finally able to share the D’Ussé 1969 Anniversaire Limited Edition with the rest of the world, and we’re proud to auction the first bottle in the collection with Sotheby’s to benefit the Shawn Carter Foundation.”

The bidding starts on March 1st on Sotheby's website and will continue through March 13th.

I aspire to be this rich!
