Lady Gaga's Fingernail Sells For $12,000 At Auction

A Lady Gaga fingernail has sold for $12K at an online auction, making for one of the oddest celebrity items a collector has ever purchased. The black-and-gold acrylic fingernail flew off the superstar’s hand during a performance in Dublin, Ireland last year and it was picked up by an event crew member who decided to put it up for auction at ArtFact.com.

MTV reported on Monday that the interesting fake fingernail sold for for $12K on the website and that it also comes with a photo of Lady Gaga missing the nail during the performance.

The odd collector, whoever it may be, will also receive a letter from the crew member explaining how he snagged the fingernail during the show. The letter reads, “I noticed an object on the floor of the stage, which at first I thought was a guitar plectrum. When I picked it up, I saw it was an acrylic nail.”

Rob Weisberg, CEO of ArtFact, believes Gaga’s fingernail, $12K acrylic nail at that, suits those who share a passion for pop and the ever so popular 27-year-old star.
