Bidding war for ‘king of cocaine’ Ryan Wedding’s collection of luxury motorcycles

A recent auction in Mexico City featured luxury motorcycles seized from Ryan Wedding, a drug trafficker known as the 'king of cocaine.' The event attracted over 100 bidders, with notable items including a Ducati Desmosedici GP15. Wedding's collection, valued at around $40 million, included bikes ridden by famous racers. The auction was organized by the Mexican government's Indep, with proceeds funding social justice projects. Bidders included private collectors and a prominent U.S. auction house, which secured nine motorcycles for nearly $913,000. Wedding, arrested in January, has connections to a criminal network that allegedly aided his operations in Mexico.
