The “Shure Axient digital Mic,” as it was listed, was sold to the lucky bidder who pledged to pay $99,900 on eBay .
The profits of the sale are expected to go to two charities — the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas, according to the listing .
Scott Fisher, the owner of the Wave Inc., a Vegas-based production company, provided the mic to the rapper for her Drai’s Beachclub event on July 29, The Los Angeles Times reported.
He said that the mic was the one that she threw based on how it was labeled and synced with her earpiece, CBS News reported. The mic has white tape with the word “main” written on it.
Fisher told TMZ , and noted on the listing , that despite being thrown, the mic still worked.
Fisher had set a starting price of $500 but it jumped to $11,7000 with the first bid, climbing to almost $100,000 before the auction closed Tuesday, the Times reported.
“I was hoping it would hit $5,000 but again I had no idea,” Fisher told CBS News . “I figured it would gain some attention nationally but the amount of news coverage has been staggering.”
There were more than 120 bids made for the mic, Forbes reported.
The buyer has not been announced. Whoever they are will get the mic, a letter of authenticity and a custom display case.
Police had looked into the incident after one of the concertgoers filed a report, but the investigation was dropped and Cardi B was not charged, CBS News reported.
