A pack of 5-7 bananas are typically sold at supermarkets for around $3, so why is someone purchasing a single banana for 6.2 million? Because they’re a billionaire, that’s why. The buyer was a chinese crypto-businessman, Justin Sun, and he paid all of 6.2 million dollars for a banana taped to a wall with duct tape. 

You might be wondering why a banana would be so valuable. Well, there is really no reason whatsoever that makes it valuable. But, It’s 90% status. People want the banana just to have the banana. However, the other 10% is people who want the banana because there is nothing like it. That sure is true in this case!

What kind of person would spend that much money on a banana? A chinese crypto-businessman, Justin Sun would. Justin is 34 years old and is the Former Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization. He has made billions of dollars through crypto and is still making more. He bought this famous banana, and on video, took the duct tape off and ate it. The entire banana. When asked why he would eat a 6.2 million dollar piece of art, he replied, “I wanted to see how it would taste.”
