Madonna has embraced the exciting world of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, further cementing her involvement in NFTs and the metaverse.

The American music icon acquired Bored Ape #4988 for a staggering 180 ETH, roughly amounting to $562,125 at that time. Interestingly, sources indicate that transaction records the purchase price exceeded the floor price by an impressive 105%. Madonna took to Twitter to share her excitement, revealing that she used MoonPay’s concierge services for her NFT acquisition.

The newly acquired artwork features a striking red ape adorned with evil eyes – a traditional emblem of safeguard – dressed in a black tank top and sporting a flat cap.

Among the notable celebrities in possession of these sought-after NFTs are Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, Neymar Jr, Stephen Curry, Post Malone, Steve Aoki, Snoop Dogg, and Jimmy Fallon.
