Two weeks after rapper Cardi B hit the headlines for throwing a microphone into a crowd, that mic has been sold on eBay for almost $100,000.

It was auctioned by the owner of an audio equipment hire company, who said all profits would go to charity.

According to BBC News, Scott Fisher told CBS that he initially hoped the bidding would reach $5,000.

Instead, it ended on $99,900.

Videos showed Cardi hurling the mic after a fan threw a drink at her during an outdoor concert in Las Vegas.

Footage from the incident went viral, which led Mr Fisher to list the infamous mic for sale.

He said the proceeds would go to veterans’ charity, Wounded Warrior Project, and Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which connects young volunteers with people with disabilities and special needs.
