The ItemBlue Origin Charity Auction Seat

An anonymous bidder paid $28 million at a charity auction for a seat next to Jeff Bezos on his first crewed spaceflight.

The Item

The auction ran for weeks, drawing bidders from over 150 countries.

The winning bid — from an anonymous bidder — closed at $28 million for a roughly 11-minute suborbital flight alongside Jeff Bezos.

Why It's Obscene

The winning bidder ultimately didn't fly on that specific mission due to a scheduling conflict.

Someone paid a record-setting $28 million and still had to reschedule their trip to space — the ultimate billionaire inconvenience.
