Up for sale are the infamous Netflix star’s pistol and holster, audio recordings from prison, 15 digital trading cards, a fringed leather jacket, and a bikini worn by exclusive Brazzers contract star, Rachel Starr on the “Tiger King” show.
The auction items include tangible collectibles as well as 3D renderings encrypted with non-fungible tokens, the latest cryptocurrency craze.
“Being able to auction off collectibles makes me feel connected with the outside world, especially without my cats by my side. Whether you love me or hate me for what you think I’ve done, there’s no doubt that everyone wants a piece of The Tiger King!”
The notorious Tiger King star, known as “Joe Exotic” teamed up with MORE – a cryptocurrency concierge – to set up the first NFT auction from a prison.
The auction starts June 18 and will be hosted on Mintable, the leading NFT marketplace.
An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a unique digital token encrypted with an artist’s signature and which verifies its ownership and authenticity and is permanently attached to the piece.
Its popularity exploded in recent years and has become a lucrative source of income for viral stars, including Exotic’s rival Baskin, who dropped her own cryptocurrency and NFTs.
Rachel Starr and Joe Exotic’s relationship goes back more than a decade. Rachel Starr appeared in the second episode of the seven-part “Tiger King” Netflix series.
Rachel Starr’s photo has also been posted to Joe Exotic’s Instagram page. He originally called her his “best friend,” but in other photos, he deems her as his “sister.” Of course, she is not his biological sister.
The two have known each other around eight years when a mutual colleague of theirs asked her to do a photoshoot with him in Wynnewood. The two hit it off within the first 10 minutes, and have been close ever since. Rachel Starr has visited him numerous times a year over many years of knowing him.
Rachel Starr’s influence on Joe Exotic wasn’t enough to pull him back from his feelings on Baskin. She told her friend not to seek revenge on Carole Baskin.
“Unfortunately, he didn’t listen and was consumed with his following on social media growing and going viral with high view count,” she said. “I believe it influenced his behavior greatly to ‘create shocking content’ in the name of high views, which later was used against him in court. I don’t believe on any level that Joe was capable of murder for hire, but those videos he filmed damn sure didn’t help sway the jury to think otherwise.
She continued: This saddens me deeply, as he is one of the few people in entertainment I became very close friends with. … I’m blessed to have him as a friend.”
“The animals were fully taken care of, above and beyond,” she said. “Very clean cages, quality food and lots of attention were given to them many times daily. I highly disagree with how the documentary portrays GW Zoo and the [condition of the] animals.”
The blue bikini worn by Rachel Starr on the Tiger King series will be part of the auction, which includes the actual piece of clothing and a 3-D model.

Just what is an NFT? A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a unique digital token encrypted with an artist’s signature and which verifies its ownership and authenticity and is permanently attached to the piece. There’s an array of reasons why someone may want to buy an NFT.
For some, the reason may be emotional value, because NFTs are seen as collector’s items. For others, they are seen as an investment opportunity similar to cryptocurrencies, because the value could increase.
