Crypto Mogul Justin Sun Eats $6.2 Million Banana Artwork 'Comedian' by Maurizio Cattelan
Nov 29, 2024, 08:48 AM
Justin Sun, the crypto mogul and founder of Tron, purchased Maurizio Cattelan's artwork 'Comedian'—a banana duct-taped to a wall—for $6.2 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York. The banana was originally bought for 25 cents from Shah Alam, a 74-year-old sidewalk fruit vendor outside Sotheby's, who began to cry upon learning the sale price. After the purchase, Sun announced plans to buy 100,000 bananas from Alam as a gesture of appreciation. In a press conference in Hong Kong, Sun fulfilled his promise by eating the banana from the artwork, stating that it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges art, business, and cryptocurrency.
