LOS ANGELES — Blue Ivy Carter may only be 6 years old, but she's already an art connoisseur.
The daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z got into a high-priced bidding war with media mogul Tyler Perry on Saturday at the Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles.
Blue Ivy reportedly bid $17,000 on a piece, described by E! as "an acrylic painting of a young Sidney Poitier," before Perry fired back with an $18,000 offer. In videos posted to Twitter, not one to be outdone, Blue Ivy bid $19,000 as Jay-Z jokingly tried to take her arm down. Perry ended up paying $20,000 for the painting.
