After buying it for $6.2 million.. Chinese millionaire decides to taste the "banana painting"!

Social media was abuzz a few days ago, with a Chinese billionaire buying what was described as "the most expensive banana in the world", for $6.2 million. After buying the painting, its owner, "Justin Sun", decided to taste it, and said in full view of the media cameras: "It is much tastier than other types of bananas."

A few days ago, the American newspaper "The New York Times" said, "A Chinese businessman bought an artwork by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan entitled "Comedy" dating back to 2019, which is a banana hanging on a wall."

“The banana comes with tape, a certificate of authenticity and installation instructions to replace the banana – whenever it rots,” she added, explaining that “the bidding on the banana ended in 5 minutes, and was won by Chinese-born businessman Justin Sun, after he beat 6 other competitors, and the banana was sold for $6.24 million, and the price at which the painting was sold caused a wide resonance, because it was nothing more than a banana finger glued with tape on a white background.

Maurizio Cattelan, the owner of the artwork, said: “It is a provocation that calls for thinking about the value of art.”

It is worth noting that “Justin Sun” is a Chinese billionaire and founder of the cryptocurrency platform “TRON”.
