During the first night of the event, all 49 lots were sold for a total of around $8 million. Some noteworthy items that went under the hammer include Elton's silver leather platform boots from 1971, which sold for $94,500, his prescription sunglasses for $22,680, and his beloved 1990 Bentley Continental, fetching $441,000. The auction also featured luxury wristwatches selling for six figures each and "Flower Thrower Triptych," a Banksy painting that Elton acquired directly from the artist, was sold for just over $1.9 million.

The auction, titled The Collection of Sir Elton John: Goodbye Peachtree Road, began on Wednesday night, with more items scheduled to be auctioned off in person on Thursday and Friday. For those who prefer to bid from home, there will be an opportunity to acquire unique collectibles online for about a week. This successful auction showcases the enduring appeal of Elton John's iconic possessions and the high demand for exclusive memorabilia in the market.
