When it comes to side hustles, Jennifer Gwynn has a very unique way to make some extra cash.
She is selling 21 items that she’s been holding on to for a couple of decades from the year she dated Elon Musk in college.
Is she bitter she didn’t marry him and become the “Mrs. Richest Person in the World?” I don’t know, but she has no problem capitalizing on some personal photos and other things she’s auctioning off.
Here’s what she told People Magazine about her time with Musk at the University of Pennsylvania.
“His brilliance and his vision were balanced with a bit of wide-eyed wonder back then.
“I think these items are a snapshot of who Elon was just before he started to conquer the world. The photos show his less serious side — his silly, come-play-with-me attitude which would pop up now and then. His everyday quiet intensity was really what attracted me to him initially… I’m a sucker for tall, blonde, and nerdy.”
It seems a little creepy and invasive, but there’s nothing illegal about it. She is working with RR Auctions to try to move the photos and other items. It seems odd that somebody would want to buy personal photos of Elon and a random ex-girlfriend, but who knows, maybe she’ll strike gold.
There’s a photo of Elon at the wheel of a car. That’s it. Nothing else interesting about the photo.
She also has a candid shot of Elon sitting on a couch in an apartment. There’s another showing Elon at the San Francisco Bay 27 years ago.
A birthday card he gave her is available for the highest bidder and another photo of Elon typing on a computer.
Dozens of items are available through the auction that runs until mid-September.
RR Auction EVP Bobby Livingston told People why they are involved.
“The auction came about because of the Jeff Bezos’ $28,000,000 rocket seat sale as well as with the Musk graded homework. RR Auction is a leading auction house of historical science, tech hardware and memorabilia related to the pioneers of the last 50 years. Our clients are some of the most successful tech entrepreneurs and advocates.”
