MEET THE SAN FRANCISCO CRYPTO BILLIONAIRE WHO PAID $6.2M FOR A SINGLE BANANA
Meet Justin Sun, the San Francisco cryptocurrency mogul who made headlines by paying a whopping $6.2 million for a single banana.
But here's the twist - it wasn't just any banana. It was a duct-taped banana, part of an art piece titled "Comedian" by artist Maurizio Cattelan.
Justin Sun, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency space, purchased the banana artwork at a Sotheby's auction in New York City. His plan is to display the banana at his office, where it will likely become a conversation starter.
It's worth noting that Sun didn't just buy one banana - he actually purchased one of three identical art pieces, each consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall. The artwork is meant to be a commentary on the absurdity of the art world, and Sun's purchase has certainly added to the conversation.
