OnlyFans meet NFT's

 The Bored Ape Yacht Club's Biggest Celebrity NFT Owners!!

In summary, the NFT collection of the Bored Ape Yacht Club is attracting a growing number of famous owners from the entertainment and sports industries.

Eminem, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Curry, Mark Cuban, and a slew of others have held the title.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club is making even greater inroads to collectors who aren't profoundly invested in crypto culture. CryptoPunks may have started the NFT profile photo fad, but the Bored Ape Yacht Club is making even stronger inroads to collectors who aren't highly immersed in crypto culture.

Yuga Labs' Ethereum-based NFT project, which has generated over $1 billion in secondary trading volume across three collections, is attracting a growing number of celebrity investors, including TV host Jimmy Fallon, athletes Stephen Curry and Shaquille O'Neal, and musicians Marshmello and Post Malone.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club bills itself as an elite social club for NFT holders, and it continues to attract celebrities.

An NFT functions as a receipt that verifies ownership of a rare digital item: in this case, one of 10,000 unique avatars that may be used for social media accounts, creative endeavors, and, depending on their quick growth in value, potentially profit.

With plans to make Bored Apes into virtual music groups by Universal Music Group and producer Timbaland, as well as ambitions to expand the brand across the world of entertainment, Bored Apes might soon become ubiquitous—with celebrity owners leading the charge.

In order of when they originally purchased in, below are some of the most famous celebrity owners of Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs.
