As the online auction counted down to a close on Wednesday, Jennifer Gwynne and her family watched the bids go up and up.
Elon Musk memorabilia was in high demand, and Gwynne, a native of North Providence, had lots of it. pictures, a handwritten birthday card, and a necklace. The objects in Gwynne's collection, which included images of Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the richest man in the world, hanging out at her mother's North Providence home, brought in a total of $165,265 from bidders. Gwynne will receive the majority of the $132,000, often known as the hammer price.
“It is an amazing blessing,” Gwynne told the Globe Thursday. “It will make our future so much more comfortable. We don’t have to worry about what we need to do to pay for college. I’ve had such a fun ride.”
Gwynne claimed that she and her husband calmly discussed what to do with the unanticipated windfall. No, they will not purchase a Tesla. 13-year-old Gwynne's stepson will soon need money for college. In addition, despite getting married in October 2020, she and her husband never went on a formal honeymoon.
Midway through the 1990s, while both were Penn undergraduates, Gwynne and Musk began dating. They split up when Musk, who finished a year before her, relocated to California in 1995.
There are no bitter feelings between them, but they have subsequently taken different routes and stopped communicating. Gwynne said. Since graduating, Gwynne has relocated numerous times. He currently resides in South Carolina and works for McKesson Medical-Surgical. Through a dozen moves, some of which were cross-country moves, she retained the pictures, cards, and mementos.
