A LUXURY van, once owned by Ye, is about to go under the hammer at a shocking discount. Ye, 47, the rapper previously known as Kanye West , sold the wild-looking ultra-luxury van in January 2024 before its price dwindled to just $12,600. The van, a 1996 Mauck MSV 1120S Elite, is a rare piece of automotive history, according to Media Drum World .
Previously owned by Ye's Yeezy LLC, the black camper -like van is set to go to auction at around a fifth of the car's original MSRP. Mauck only made 100 iterations of the hyperluxury vehicle between 1996 and 1999. Passengers inside the van were treated with supple luxuries.
