On January 20, Neymar changed his profile picture using the Bored Ape 6633 as an avatar. According to OpenSea’s history, the soccer player paid 159.99 ETH for the ape. The price would be around $481.6K USD taking the current ETH price as a reference. This represents an appreciation of more than 66% in just under a month when the same ape sold for 96 ETH.

But Ape 6633 is not the only NFT owned by Neymar. The soccer player owns another even more valuable ape – Ape 5269 – for which he paid 189.69 ETH or more than $570K at current prices.

Neymar’s most valuable ape has laser eyes, a trend popular among maximalist bitcoiners who claim that the price of Bitcoin may touch $100k soon.
