The bidding, which completed on May 12, was expected to close at around $100,000.
Unsurprisingly, the buyer was a huge Tupac fan and collector from the Midwest, according to TMZ, and wished to remain anonymous. 
An extravagant purchase perhaps, but the car also comes with a license plate that reads 'YAKNPAK', a tribute to Tupac and the late rapper Yaki 'Prince' Kadafi, who died two months after Tupac.
The pair were said to have driven around in the custom Hummer together often, said Motor Trend
Two copies of the 20-year-old vehicle's registration, listed to Tupac, were also included in the sale.
