Blue Ivy knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to raise her hand to get it.
The sassy 6-year-old accompanied her parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, to the 2018 Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles, which was organized by glam-ma, Tina Knowles, to raise money for a non-profit art and performance complex.
Blue meant business at the event when, with a paddle in hand, she bid $17,000 for an acrylic painting of Oscar-winner, Sidney Poitier, before raising her bid to $19,000.
Jay-Z may have seen the future of her spending flash before his eyes, prompting him to jokingly wrestle the paddle out of his eldest daughter’s hand.
Lool… Blue Ivy is about to buy all the Artworks at the auction. She must have been listening to JayZ's tracks about Basquiat and investing in Art. pic.twitter.com/Nd0pFrA16z

Host, Star Jones, made light of the situation, telling the audience, “Her mother and father have been talking about how you gather art and that is a big deal for African Americans. 19 for Miss Blue, yes, and she’s like, ‘I like that.’”
Filmmaker, Tyler Perry, eventually overthrew Blue with a superior bid of $20,000 (no word on if Jay Z slipped some winks and subtle nods his way…)
But the eldest Carter kid was not to be outdone as she successfully won an art piece made of deconstructed law and medical books for $10,000.
Sorry, she ain’t sorry.
