Magnus Carlsen's infamous 'Jeangate' denims sold for a whopping 36,100 dollars on eBay. Carlsen put the jeans for auction in February this year and the proceedings went to a charity.

The jeans Magnus Carlsen wore when he withdrew from the World Rapid and Blitz Championships in 2024 have been sold in an eBay auction.

In a surprise to absolutely no one even remotely familiar with modern internet behavior, Magnus Carlsen’s “jeans that broke chess” have successfully sold for over $36,000. The greatest player of all time was sanctioned last year’s World Rapid Championship for wearing them in a dress code violation, sparking a high-profile spat with FIDE.
