Kim Kardashian Gifts Kourtney the Iconic Pee-wee Bike for Christmas

The prop's provenance remains unconfirmed despite a recent $125,000 sale of a similar bike at a Los Angeles auction.

Overview

  • Kourtney Kardashian posted on Instagram Stories that Kim gave her the red bicycle from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, calling it the “coolest Christmas present.”
  • She later shared a close-up showing a gold plaque reading “Property of Pee-wee Herman,” further highlighting the gift’s connection to the film.
  • Outlets report it is not verified whether this bike is the same screen-used prop that sold for $125,000 at Van Eaton Galleries in May as part of the Jay Ward estate sale.
  • Auction records cited in coverage note pre-sale estimates of $30,000 to $60,000 for that bike, which ultimately far exceeded expectations.
  • Reports also note the production used multiple bikes, with 14 made for the 1985 film, and that other examples have sold at auction or are displayed in U.S. museums.
