The Person Who Made $69 Million from NFTs Four Years Ago Is Still Making Money
Four years after making $69 million from an NFT sale, Beeple continues to innovate and profit in the digital art space. Despite the decline in the NFT market, he recently launched "Regular Animals" at Art Basel—a collection of 256 eerie robotic dogs with human faces resembling figures like Musk, Warhol, and Picasso. These AI-driven sculptures use cameras and visual algorithms to create art based on their surroundings.
The NFTs, initially given away for free, now trade for over 10 ETH (around $35,000) on OpenSea, valuing the giveaway near $9 million. A physical series of 1,024 pieces is also available, with listings reaching $6,500 on eBay—though the digital versions remain more valuable.
Beeple, who once struggled to sell art for over $100, now operates a large studio with a team of artists and engineers, including a former Boeing engineer and a renowned art curator. His work continues to bridge crypto and traditional art, gaining attention from outlets like WSJ.
