(Los Angeles = Yonhap News) Correspondent Yoon-seop Jeong = Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s gift to his college girlfriend and a photo he took at the time sold for 230 million won.

PR Auction, an American auction house, announced on the 16th (local time) that souvenirs of Musk’s ex-girlfriend Jennifer Gwynn were sold for a total of $ 165,265 (about 230 million won).

Gwynn met Musk, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania in 1994, and they dated for a year, then auctioned off items containing mementos from that time.

Among the gifts Musk gave to Gwynn, a 14-karat gold necklace with a green emerald sold for $ 51.08 and a note that Musk wrote for Gwynn’s birthday sold for $ 16,643.

Gwynn sold Musk’s belongings to pay for her stepson’s college tuition.

Their brief relationship ended when Musk moved to Silicon Valley, California.

Musk enrolled in a PhD in Materials Science from Stanford University in 1995, but dropped out two days later and started his own business.

“Musk was very intense (in college) and focused on his studies,” recalled Gwynn.

She told Musk, who moved to California, that a long-distance relationship would be a waste of time.
