What are outrageous NFTs?
If you are not sure what NFTs are then take a lesson from Pete Davidson on SNL. That's where my kids learned it from and now they are NFT experts.
My top ten outrageous NFTs
10. Axie Infinity - Virtual land from a video game
Flying Falcon bought this digital plot of land for 888.25 Ether about $1.5M at the time it was sold.
Flying Falcon reported to Coindesk that he bought the land for his thesis: “What we’re witnessing is a historic moment; the rise of digital nations with their own system of clearly delineated, irrevocable property rights.”
His virtual picnic spot cost more than my actual house.

8-9. Crypto Punk's pet monkey -
This is the algorithmically generated pixel art image of an ape. The ape picture went for 800 Ether in the end of February which was more than 1.5 million dollars.
That's a lot of monkey.
7. The first Twitter Tweet in history.
This tweet was posted by the founder and CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey.
It sold for 2.9 million USD.
What kind of outrageous person would offer that much money for one tweet?
6. Crossroads by @beeple (Donald Trump dystopian art)
This is a ten second clip of 3D dystopian art.
It sold for $6.6 million.
"Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Donald Trump."
Donald Trump
4-5. More Cyrptopunks
These are algorithm generated pixel art images. The alien #3100 (blue and white head band) and #7800 (the one smoking the pipe) sold for more than 7 million USD each.
3. The War Nymph
Grimes artwork/music videos
This little nymph was a collaboration of @Grimezsz & @MacBoucher1 and sold for 6 million USD.
But a percentage of the sale was donated to @carbon_180 a climate-focused NGO working to build a world that removes more carbon than it emits. I guess that would make this one a clean sale.
Did you notice anything unusual about this picture of Grimes with her boyfriend?
2. The Hash Masks
Crypto Cobain sold hashmasks for 16 million USD.
The creator of Hashmarks remains anonymous, probably because the creator is actually hundreds of people of Fiverr. They created more than 16,000 individual unique original digital artworks.
Most were made using an algorithm, and about 20% were made by hand. They are pretty cool. Some of them can be pieced together like a puzzle, but I'm not sure if they are worth 16 million USD.
Well, maybe these are worth it. Imagine going to school and saying,
"I just bought 16 million dollars in hash. Let's party!"
1. Again Beeple - The first 5000 days
He did Everydays and kept them in one compilation and sold them for 69 million USD to the outrageous spender Mr. _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _.
Ahhhhh!!!!
Outrageous.
Not 130,000 USD but 69,000,000 USD.
