Crypto entrepreneur eats banana artwork he bought for $6.2m
Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun ate a banana artwork which he bought at an auction for $6.2 million.
According to foreign media, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan had taped a fresh banana to the wall of an art gallery, which was being called artwork.
Justin Sun, a Chinese-born cryptocurrency founder, bought it for $6.2 million (About 2.5 billion Pakistani rupees).
Justin described the Italian artist's artwork as "iconic" on Friday at a luxury hotel in Hong Kong and ate the banana bought for billions of rupees in front of journalists and influencers.
After eating the banana, Justin Sun said, "This is much better than other bananas, it's really good."
Immediately after winning the auction last week, Mr Sun announced his plan to eat the fruit to make it part of the history of the artwork.
He also said, "It is not just a work of art, it represents a cultural phenomenon that connects the worlds of art, memes and the cryptocurrency community."
Each participant at the event on Friday was given a banana and a roll of duct tape as souvenirs.
