Kim Kardashian is celebrating Janet Jackson's birthday in a big way.
The festivities kicked off a few days early when Janet announced she would be auctioning off memorabilia from her life to benefit Compassion International.
"Can't believe this will be the last time I'll see some of these items, but it's for a good cause," Janet wrote while announcing the auction.
Hey u guys. I’ve partnered with @JuliensAuctions to sell over 1000 items from my career & personal treasures. A portion of the proceeds will go to @compassion International 🤍. Can’t believe this will be the last time I’ll see some of these items, but it’s for a good cause 🙏🏽
The auction lot included items from all stages of Janet's life, including her custom-made outfit from the "If" music video.

Following the event, Julien's Auctions announced that the outfit had been purchased for $25,000 by a mystery buyer.
SOLD for $25,000! A custom-made top with a pair of black pants, both worn by Janet Jackson in her 1993 award-winning "If" music video. Sold in our "Iconic Treasures from the Legendary Career and Life of Janet Jackson" auction at https://t.co/TiME89uOXn! w/ @JanetJackson
It turns out that the mystery buyer was Kim Kardashian, herself, who revealed her auction winnings on Janet's birthday.
"Happy birthday queen! For @janetjackson's bday bc I'm such a fan I can't believe I won this on @juliens_auctions," Kim wrote on her Instagram story.
Of course Janet had to write back, posting, "Thank u so much @kimkardashian! I hope 'IF' gives u as much pleasure as it did me."
This actually isn't the first time that Kim has purchased a piece of memorabilia from the Jackson family!
Back in 2019, Kim and ex Kanye West purchased a jacket once worn by Michael Jackson, as well as the white fedora he wore in his 1988 music video for "Smooth Criminal."
