John McAfee Collection
John McAfee lived a life in motion. Rarely staying in one place long, and rarely holding onto possessions.
This auction presents a curated collection of personal effects owned and used by John McAfee during the final years of his life.
These items span periods of public visibility, international travel, incarceration, and life on the run.
John didn’t believe in owning much, he believed in using what mattered.
Every item here served a purpose at a specific moment in his life.
Movement, awareness, protection, expression, or reflection.
This collection isn’t about legend or headlines. It’s about what remains when you strip a life down to essentials.
"I once had everything. I now have nothing. Inside these prison bars, I am more free than ever.
The things you believe you own, ultimately own you."
John McAfee
