Six million dollar banana

Feeling peckish after spending so much money, cryptocurrency investor and novelty art fan Justin Sun announced he planned to eat his investment. Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire, spent $6.2 million Nov. 20 to buy the famed banana-and-duct-tape art piece at a Sotheby’s auction. The fruit-based creation of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan features a fresh banana duct-taped to a wall. Sun celebrated his winning auction bid on social media, announcing he would turn his new purchase into an expensive snack: “In the coming days, I will personally eat the banana as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture.”
