We\u2019ve come a long way since the world\u2019s first NFT<\/a> was minted in 2014. Since then, projects like CryptoKitties, Rare Pepes, and CryptoPunks<\/a> have revolutionized the industry \u2014 both creatively and financially. NFT sales have skyrocketed in response, and many of the most famous and well-known NFTs have brought in millions of dollars. <\/p>\n To record the most notable milestones, we\u2019ve compiled a list of the most expensive NFT art pieces ever sold. <\/p>\n But before we begin, it\u2019s important to know that we\u2019re only highlighting the biggest single<\/em> <\/strong>NFT sales in this article. The list doesn\u2019t include open editions<\/a>, which are NFT drops with no set supply limit, allowing collectors to mint as many tokens as they want within a certain period.<\/p>\n Finally, be sure to bookmark this page and check in often for the latest information. Things are changing rapidly in Web3, and we\u2019ll continue to update this article with new entries as even bigger NFT sales go down.<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>Stay Free,<\/a> created by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, sold to PleasrDAO<\/a> for $5.4 million in April 2021. Proceeds from the sale went to the Freedom of the Press Foundation.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>An endeavor launched toward the beginning of the 2021 NFT boom, the NFT predates similar efforts to aid influential prisoners (like Ross Ulbricht and Julian Assange, who are also featured on this list) in their fights for freedom.<\/p>\n The token itself is represented visually by Snowden\u2019s iconic Platon portrait comprised of the court documents associated with the landmark decision ruling the National Security Agency\u2019s mass surveillance violated the law.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> Ringers #879<\/a>, known affectionately as the \u201cgoose ringer,\u201d is a single NFT from Dmitri Cherniak\u2019s groundbreaking generative project that sold for just short of $6 million in August 2021. The buyer was Three Arrows Capital, a Singapore-based cryptocurrency investment firm.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>As one of the first projects to launch in 2021, Cherniak\u2019s Ringers collection<\/a> of 1,000 NFTs has retained its historical value through critical acclaim and landmark sales.\u00a0Known throughout the NFT ecosystem as one of the most beloved collections to come from the prestigious generative art platform Art Blocks Curated<\/a>, owning a single Ringers NFT is commonly considered to be both a status symbol and a bet on the future of generative NFT art.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> Beeple\u2019s Ocean Front<\/a> NFT sold for $6 million in March 2021 to Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur and founder of the TRON blockchain, Justin Sun. Proceeds from the sale were donated to the Open Earth Foundation. <\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> The piece, which is part of Beeple\u2019s valuable \u201cEverydays\u201d series, featured the caption \u201ctogether we can solve this,\u201d in reference to the climate crisis. The NFT came as part of The Carbon Drop collection<\/a> launched by Nifty Gateway in collaboration with the Open Earth Foundation. Inspired by the conversation surrounding NFT\u2019s impact on the environment<\/a>, the collection included eight unique \u201ccarbon negative\u201d NFTs in an effort to compensate for the underlying emissions from minting.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> XCOPY\u2019s A Coin for the Ferryman<\/a> sold for $6.02 million on November 4, 2021. It was purchased by SuperRare user jpeggy, who also owns XCOPY\u2019s EVADER<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> Similar to his other high-value pieces, A Coin for the Ferryman can be traced back to the beginning of the enigmatic creator\u2019s career as a crypto-artist. Originally sold for $139 in 2018, the piece wouldn\u2019t change wallets again till November 2021, only days before the price of Ether reached an all-time high. As crypto prices continued to rise, the high-profile sale of A Coin for the Ferryman created speculation and renewed belief in the long-term value of 1\/1 NFTs.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> Ross Ulbricht\u2019s first ever NFT, FreeRoss,<\/a> fetched a whopping $6.12 million after being on auction for six days at the beginning of December 2021. Released as part of the Ross Ulbricht Genesis NFT Collection<\/a>, proceeds from the sale went not only to efforts to free Ulbricht from prison, but also toward creating a donor-advised fund called Art4Giving. The fund is dedicated to relieving the suffering of the incarcerated and their families.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Creator of online black market Silk Road, Ulbricht is unequivocally tied to the history of blockchain tech. With his genesis collection presented via the FreeRossDAO (who were also the NFT\u2019s buyers), Ulbricht was able to solidify his name on the blockchain in a new and innovative way, effectively adding a positive spin to his legacy as he continues to serve life in prison.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> XCOPY\u2019s All Time High in the City<\/a> sold for 1,630 ETH in January 2022 to rarecollector3000 just a few months after initially selling for 1,000 ETH. The animated artwork, which was minted in 2018, depicts the ferryman of the underworld transporting a man across the river Styx.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> Known for dark, abstract, and dystopian illustrations, the London-based XCOPY often uses motion, flickering, or glitching effects in his pieces. His style has become a staple of the NFT ecosystem, with countless artists and projects imitating his animated pieces in creations of their own.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> Originally minted on October 30, 2020, Beeple\u2019s Crossroad<\/a> sold for $66,666 to influential collector Pablo Fraile. Only four months later, it found a new home with faceless collector anonymous10.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> Before NFTs had received any truly significant mainstream news coverage, Crossroad became a meme surrounding the 2020 presidential race. It was created as a reflection of the political tension in the United States, and Beeple says he had multiple versions of the piece ready, depending on who won the presidency. <\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> CryptoPunk #8857<\/a> sold for $6.63 million on September 11, 2021. The sale came as part of a string of buys that happened throughout the summer and fall of 2021.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Zombie CryptoPunks are some of the most famous NFTs to date. Why? For starters, they come from one of the earliest NFT collections, CryptoPunks<\/a>. Additionally, there are only 88 zombie CryptoPunks in existence. <\/p>\n The enormous price tag was also triggered by a legendary single-day sale<\/a> in which prominent NFT collector Keyboard Monkey<\/a> bought a zombie Punk and sold it less than 24 hours later for a profit of nearly one million dollars. It was what many would call the height of zombie NFT trading. Around this time in the zombie Punk market, we even saw the birth of prominent investor Cozomo de\u2019 Medici<\/a> with the purchase of CryptoPunk #3831<\/a>. <\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> XCOPY\u2019s Right-click and Save As Guy<\/a> sold to Cozomo de\u2019 Medici for $7 million on December 9, 2021. <\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> The legend of XCOPY\u2019s \u201cRight-click and Save As Guy<\/a>\u201d goes back far beyond the days of our current NFT ecosystem. It was minted years ago, on December 6, 2018. The iconic piece helped signal a shift in public perception about NFTs when it was featured on BBC World News<\/a>, shortly after Beeple\u2019s landmark Everydays auction. As this famous NFT art had only changed hands twice before this latest sale \u2014 first for $90 (1 ETH) and then for $174,195 (99 ETH) \u2014 de\u2019 Medici\u2019s buy marked more than a 3,500 percent increase in the value of the artwork.<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>Among the highest sales to come from Dmitri Cherniak\u2019s Ringers project lives Ringers #109<\/a>. Hailed for its complexities as a piece of generative art, #109, sold for more than $7 million in October 2021, further solidifying the importance of the Art Blocks project.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Ringers was one of the first projects to launch in 2021. In addition to its historic significance in the NFT space, it\u2019s also one of the most popular Art Blocks Curated<\/a> collections. Although Ringers and Cherniak himself were both subject to the controversy surrounding the original inspiration behind the project (with some remarking that the idea may have been stolen), the sale of this specific intricate ringer helped proliferate the conversation surrounding plagiarism on the blockchain and general crypto-artistic integrity.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> CryptoPunk #7804<\/a> was one of two major alien Punk sales to happen on March 11, 2021. Purchased for the equivalent of $7.5 million at the time, the 4,200 ETH price tag would amount to nearly $17 million at 2021 year-end.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Punk #7804 has some rare traits, including being one of only nine aliens in existence. But the significance of this purchase goes far beyond the price. Almost immediately after the Punk changed hands, we witnessed the birth of NFT collector and social media influencer Peruggia<\/a> (who has been heavily speculated to be the alternate account of prominent investor Robert Leshner<\/a>).<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>The second major Punk sale to happen on March 11, 2021, was CryptoPunk #3100<\/a>. This also happened to be the last on-chain alien Punk sale of 2021. We wouldn\u2019t see another change hands till the Sotheby\u2019s auction of CryptoPunk #7523<\/a> (also on this list).<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>CryptoPunk #3100 is one of nine aliens in existence, making it an obviously influential and rare Punk. Similar to #8857 though, no one came forward to give this high-profile NFT a personality via social media.<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>This cowboy-hat-wearing punk<\/a> sold in February 2022 for 2,500 ETH. It is believed to have been purchased\u00a0by Robert Leshner<\/a>, CEO of Compound Finance, who Tweeted an enthusiastic \u201cYeehaw\u201d after the sale.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>It\u2019s one of 24 Ape punks, and one of 142 with cowboy hats. As Ape Punks have continued to rise in popularity among the Bored Ape-dominated NFT market, it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll see many high-profile trades like #5577 for some time.<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>On December 9, 2021, CryptoPunk #4156<\/a> sold for $10.2 million. <\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Although CryptoPunk #4156 wasn\u2019t the highest selling NFT from the CryptoPunk family, it was undoubtedly the most famous NFT trade for a Punk in 2021. That\u2019s because bandana ape #4156 had become synonymous with the personality of prominent NFT influencer and builder Punk4156<\/a>. As a result, when the sales happened, it felt like the end of an era.<\/p>\n The sale also marked a significant turning point in the CryptoPunk ecosystem. As the legendary Larva Labs project<\/a> had long been regarded as one of the most important NFT collections in existence, issues surrounding Larva Labs\u2019 copyright policies \u2014 which Punk4156 has taken big issue with<\/a> \u2014 were the reason behind both this significant trade and declining Punk prices towards the end of the year.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> This rare \u201cJoker\u201d Tpunk was purchased by TRON founder Justin Sun<\/a> in August 2021. Sun is well-versed in the NFT space. He was an active bidder on Beeple\u2019s Everydays: the First 5,000 Days, but he was outbid by $250,000 at the last minute.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> In the NFT space, it often seems that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. To this end, it\u2019s no surprise that the Tpunks NFT collection was inspired by \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 the famous NFT collection known as CryptoPunks. Consisting of 10,000 avatars on the Tron blockchain, as far as derivatives go, Tpunks is definitely in the top tier.<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>Known to many as the \u201cCOVID Alien\u201d due to its prominent facemask trait, CryptoPunk #7523<\/a> was the largest punk sale of 2021. It\u2019s important to note that the blockchain does not reflect this prominent sale, as it occurred as part of Sotheby\u2019s Natively Digital auction<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable:<\/strong> The original minter of #7523, Straybits<\/a>, and the Punk\u2019s second-ever collector, Sillytuna<\/a> (who supplied it for auction), are both prominent parts of the NFT community. As a result, the sale was seen as a huge win for the NFT ecosystem and also as a major push towards mainstream NFT adoption.<\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>The most expensive CryptoPunk ever sold is punk #5822<\/a>. The alien-style punk featuring a blue bandana sold for $23 million on February 12, 2022 \u2014 more than double the cost of the next highest-grossing punk. The buyer is the CEO of Chain, Deepak Thapliyal. He tweeted an image<\/a> of his punk after the purchase. It came close to being the highest selling NFT at the time of sale, but it missed the mark by just a few million.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Because it\u2019s one of only nine aliens in the collection, it was bound to sell at a high price. <\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>Beeple\u2019s HUMAN ONE<\/a> sold for $28.9 million on November 9, 2021. It was auctioned off as part of\u00a0Christie\u2019s\u00a021st Century Evening Sale.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>HUMAN ONE<\/a> is an NFT like no other. As the first-ever physical piece from the acclaimed artist, both the NFT and the electronic sculpture went up to auction as a single lot. Considering the massive sale of Beeple\u2019s Everydays (also on this list), many were unsure what this new, constantly-evolving digital masterpiece would fetch at auction. Yet, as Christie\u2019s has continued to help legitimize NFTs as true works of art, it\u2019s no wonder that Beeple\u2019s HUMAN ONE would be second only to Beeple himself in 2021.<\/p>\n Sale details:<\/strong> In February of 2022, Julian Assange and Pak\u2019s Clock NFT<\/a> became the second-most expensive single NFT ever sold. The NFT depicts a timer that counts the number of days Assange has spent in prison. It was curated as part of Pak and Assange\u2019s\u00a0Censored<\/a>\u00a0collection, which also featured a\u00a0dynamic open edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Pak has remained anonymous throughout their entire career, while simultaneously becoming one of the\u00a0highest-grossing living artists<\/a>. They\u00a0took to Twitter<\/a>\u00a0shortly after the auction closed, labeling the endeavor \u201ca drop with no creator, developer, platform, middlemen share,\u201d that is \u201cfrom people, for the people.\u201d The piece was purchased by AssangeDAO, an organization whose primary mission is to fight for the freedom of the WikiLeaks founder. <\/p>\n Sale details: <\/strong>The most famous NFT sale (and the most expensive NFT sale to date) was Beeple\u2019s Everydays: The First 5000 Days<\/a> for $69.3 million. <\/p>\n Why it\u2019s valuable: <\/strong>Not only was this the most expensive NFT sale ever, but the event created a snowball effect throughout mainstream media, and brought the term \u201cNFT\u201d into households around the world. Before Christie\u2019s decided to take a chance on NFTs via its Online Auction<\/a>, the act of minting, collecting, and trading NFTs was seen as niche at best. But after Beeple secured the biggest bag in all of NFTs, it was clear \u2014 even to Saturday Night Live<\/a> \u2014 that the time of NFTs had arrived.<\/p>\n UkraineDAO PartyBid: $6.7 million (2258 ETH)<\/strong><\/p>\n In February 2022,\u00a0Pussy Riot\u2019s Nadya Tolokonnikova<\/a>,\u00a0Trippy Labs<\/a>, and members from the influential PleasrDAO<\/a> came together to form\u00a0UkraineDAO<\/a>\u00a0with the goal of raising funds for those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. After days of collecting donations, Tolokonnikova initiated a PartyBid \u2014 which is essentially a way to crowdfund capital to purchase an NFT on auction \u2014 to purchase a\u00a01\/1 NFT of the Ukrainian flag<\/a>. A total of 3,271 bidders raised around 2,258 ETH (just under $6.7 million). The timeliness of the auction and the unique mechanics of PartyBid undoubtedly helped the Ukraine flag NFT to sell high, and set a precedent for similar mechanisms to potentially incentivize even bigger sales. Although the NFT outsold number 20 on this list, it is included here as an honorable mention because\u00a0of\u00a0the unique situation surrounding the sale, as well as\u00a0the fact that the purchase was crowdfunded.<\/p>\n Additionally, while these pieces didn\u2019t make our list of the biggest NFT sales, they still sold at impressive prices. <\/p>\n $4,000,000<\/strong><\/p>\n Mad Dog Jones\u2019 piece, REPLICATOR<\/a> sold for $4.1 million in April 2021. According to the artist: \u201cREPLICATOR<\/em>\u00a0is the story of a machine through time. It is a reflection on forms of past groundbreaking innovation and serves as a metaphor for modern technology\u2019s continuum. I\u2019m interested to see how collectors will respond as the work evolves and the NFTs in their possession continue to create new generations.\u201d<\/p>\n $3,000,000<\/strong><\/p>\n This list wouldn\u2019t be complete without some Bored Apes. Ape #8817<\/a> raked in $3.4 million at a Sotheby\u2019s Metaverse auction in October 2021. The Ape sports a wool turtleneck, rainbow spinner hat, and silver hoop earrings. <\/p>\n $2,000,000<\/strong><\/p>\n Bored Ape #3739<\/a> sold for $2.9 million in September 2021. The Ape is a six-trait gold fur ape with a sea captain\u2019s hat, a black t-shirt, and laser eyes. Based on these traits, Bored Ape #3749 is the 27th rarest ape, according to Rarity Tools.<\/p>\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
