The youngster has a history at the auction house, previously offering up a $19,000 bid at the same event in 2019 when she was just six years old.
The art connoisseur bid on an acrylic painting of a young Sidney Poitier and she entered into a bidding war with a mysterious rival.
That mystery bidder turned out to be none other than Tyler Perry, 53, who didn’t even know that he was bidding against a child.
‘Somebody else was bidding against me,’ Perry later told NBC’s Today show after winning the bidding war with Blue Ivy.’I didn’t know who it was.’
‘I look over and it’s her,’ said the influential filmmaker. ‘She’s taking the paddle out of Jay’s hand and Beyonce’s hand and she’s bidding.’

Perry’s resolve didn’t waver once he realized that his competition was practically a kindergartener. ‘This kid’s not outbidding me today,’ he said of his determination.’You gonna learn today, little girl, I’m getting this painting.’
While she may have missed out on the prize, Blue Ivy didn’t let it impact her confidence and she was quick to offer up more money for the next item: a 36″ x 36″ piece of art composed of deconstructed law books from Indiana and medical books from California, created by artist Samuel Levi Jones.
She was able to snap up the tome for a cool $10,000.
