Logan Paul Reveals Drake Outbid Him for Bob Ross Painting at Goldin Auction

The podcast account highlights how auction anonymity lets celebrity bidding shape prices.

Overview

  • On the Jan. 13 episode of Impaulsive, Paul said he unknowingly bid against Drake for a Bob Ross painting.
  • Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin confirmed he knew both were bidding but said protocol barred disclosing identities during the sale.
  • The late-2024 auction closed just above $93,000, which outlets reported as a public auction record for a Ross painting at the time.
  • Paul said he was “a little tipsy” while bidding and that the winning price landed well above the estimate.
  • Drake later identified himself as the buyer on Instagram, and the sold work was not a painting created for Ross’s TV show.
