According to another examination of high-profile NFT purchases, Sneak Homey has spent the most money on a single NFT.
CoinGecko, the world’s largest free cryptographic money information aggregator, used exchange data from OpenSea, SuperRare, and Etherscan to identify the most expensive NFTs purchased by VIPs beginning in early 2021. The analysis looked at 50 different notable personalities who allegedly purchased at least one NFT to see who the single biggest spenders are.
