Angus Cloud was a special character who played a beloved role in one of pop culture’s hit shows. His character on the show, Fezco, was loved by all around him and so was Cloud in real life. Now, those he left behind have come together to honor him by auctioning his things for charity. After all, one of the things Cloud was known for in his neighborhood was his charitable nature.
“Well before Angus was making good money, he made a habit of supporting his fellow street artists, musicians, writers and pranksters and regularly brought food and other essentials to people living in the streets,” says his mother Lisa. Here’s all we know about the auction.
Details of the Auction
The late “Euphoria” actor was blessed with charisma, love for art, rap music, film and a knack for thrift shopping. To honor him, his family and friends decided to auction his favorite items and clothes including those he wore on “Euphoria,” at Julien’s Auctions and donate the proceeds to his favorite charities and his memorial skate park in Oakland.

“100% of money raised by this auction will be used to honor Angus’ spirit by continuing to provide support to the artists and projects he gave so generously to during his lifetime,” his mother has said. The auction began on Friday November 14. It will remain open until Thursday December 12, both in person in Los Angeles and online as part of the Hollywood Legends collection.
It also features items formerly owned by Laurence Olivier and Bob Mackie, and stuff from movies like “Dirty Dancing,” “The Wizard of Oz” and the hit TV series “Friends.” Cloud’s personal set will be offered in the sci-fi, horror and action section.
The Auction Will Include Things Angus Cloud Owned
Over 20 items from Angus Cloud’s life and career will be sold in the auction. One of the most expensive items on the list is his 18K rose gold skeleton wristwatch from Ralph Lauren. It is estimated between $20,000 to $30,000.
Other items include a Burberry suit he wore to the Revolve Social Club in Los Angeles on March 3, 2022, his white and gold-tone Louis Vuitton Shadow Square sunglasses, a Ralph Lauren fleece, his Los Angeles Raiders hoodie, which is estimated at around $500-$700, a Gumby pendant, a Rockstar racing helmet (owned and signed by the late actor), and a Polo shirt that made an appearance in his 2022 campaign.
“Angus gave whatever he had to help his friends and support outside artists in his community in any and every way he could. The proceeds from this auction will be used to continue Angus’ generosity to the people and projects he believed in,” Lisa said.
According to the proud mother, they decided against setting up a non-profit entity to receive auction proceeds because of the rules governing how and whom they can give the money to.
“Angus didn’t give to institutions, he gave to individuals he believed in,” Lisa said. “Angus also regularly went to encampments where unhoused people were gathered to offer food and gifts that he thought might make their day a little brighter. We will continue that offering.”
Also up for auction are his Jordan 8 University of Oregon sneakers, and his Jordan 4 Retro SP 30th Anniversary Union Taupe Haze sneakers.
Where the Funds From Angus Cloud’s Auction Will Go
Some of the funds raised through the auction will go towards building Cloud Park, a memorial skate park next to the late “Euphoria” star’s’ high school in Oakland. An acre of land will be turned into a skate plaza to honor Cloud.
This is possible if they reach their goal to raise over $2 million through a GoFundMe campaign and the auction. All the proceeds from Cloud’s auction will be collected via an account distributed by a committee of the late actor’s friends. The donations from the fund will also be tax deductible.
What Caused Angus Cloud’s Death?
Angus Cloud passed away at 25 on July 3, from acute intoxication following an accidental drug overdose. Cloud rose to stardom overnight with his portrayal of Fezco, the drug dealer with a big heart, on “Euphoria.” However according to those closest to him, he had no desire to be famous and just wanted to be himself.
With the auction, Lisa believes others can honor her son, cherish his memory and continue his legacy. “I always knew he was special and I’m so glad the world also found out he was special,” Lisa said in 2023. “My son will always shine bright.”
