A federal judge has ordered former pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli to forfeit nearly $7.4 million because of his fraud convictions last year.

This means he'll have to give up some of his prized possessions, including a painting by Pablo Picasso, a copy of the unreleased Lil' Wayne album "Tha Carter V" and the world's only pressing of the Wu-Tang Clan album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin."

In August, a jury convicted Shkreli of securities fraud while he was a portfolio manager at a hedge fund.
