“The Pokémon market is blazing hot. It’s dominating the market and that’s the number one card,” Goldin told him.
He offered Paul a $2.5m (£1.8m) advance and a cut of everything else sold in his Pokémon and TCG (trading card game) auction, of which the Pikachu Illustrator was the star lot.
Paul admitted the funds would be useful for his “expensive wedding”.
“I’m not a reseller. I’m a collector,” he told Goldin on the show. “But, candidly, I could use the liquidity. I’m good at making money. I’m better at spending money.”
Paul married Danish model Nina Agdal in a lavish wedding in Lake Como, Italy, in August 2025.
