If you don’t know about NFT’s till now, I can say you are technologically lacking behind because NFTs are becoming one of the hottest trends of 2021. NFTs or Non-Funngible-Tokens are digital assets or collectibles that can represent anything from an original artwork, music, videos to even memes or Twitter tweets and can actually be sold on NFT marketplaces like Rarible, OpenSea or Nifty gateway. These NFT’s are unique and very special as they are completely based on the blockchain technology and they cannot be duplicated, replicated or replaced.
From Beeple to Gary Vaynerchuck to even Logan Paul, the famous YouTube Star, almost everyone is talking about NFT’s and some are making big banks from them. In fact, more than 509,000 pieces of NFT artworks had been sold in the month of March 2021. Today, in this article I will be showing you some of the most popular NFT artists and the amount of money they have made from NFTs.
1. Beeple
How can Beeple not be in the Number 1 list?
Beeple is no doubt one of the best and most popular NFT artists in the NFT community. He has made history in the world of NFTs by selling his piece of artwork called “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” for a whooping $69 Million Dollars. Now you can call that luck or just the Devil showering his blessings upon him. But one cool fact about Beeple is that he is indeed a Devil Worshiper which clearly reflects in his art which is very disturbing and his style is pretty aggressive. Additionally, he has made over $17 Million dollars from the rest of his artworks that clearly estimates that his Net worth is close to over $100 million dollars.
Beeple started his art career back in 2007 when he was just teaching himself how to create art. He started the “Everyday” project where he decided that he would post his creations everyday online for the next 5000 days. Soon, he started getting a lot of attention online and people loved his work. He also said in one of the interviews that he never missed a day creating art, even in 2021, he still creates one piece of artwork everyday. His idea for Everyday’s Project really became fruitful when, NFTs starting becoming huge and there no doubt, he was the first man in the history to sell an NFT for $69 Million dollars.
2. PAK
PAK is one of the most reputed NFT artists of all time. He is very much respected in the NFT community as he was one of the most successful NFT artists before Beeple. Back in the early 2020’s, if people had to talk about who is the best NFT artist in the NFT, PAK’s name would pop up everywhere and he was indeed very successful at that time. He had sold over $3.5 Million dollars worth of his artworks and he was probably at the top of his game in 2020.

One of the best works of PAK is Metarift which sold for $906,000 dollars USD. While most of his other artworks usually sell for between $200,000 to $500,000 dollars. Even though, he may have not sold his art for $69 Million dollars, he still holds a very big reputation in the NFT community and has inspired millions of artist from all over the world the create amazing art.
As they say, I think PAK should be really thinking of selling his soul to the Devil!.

The he says – “I ignored it for a day and then replied,” he recalls, laughing. “I got on the phone with him and we were just throwing ideas back and forth. I was like, ‘You send me what’s from your heart, and I’ll do what’s from my heart, and let’s make it mesh.’ And that’s what we did.”

If you're wondering how non-fungible tokens (NFTs) — essentially tokenized JPEGs — have sold for millions of dollars in the past few years, here's the short answer that most people would give you: It's because they're art, and art is inherently valuable.
NFT's price today is US$0.0000005049, with a 24-hour trading volume of $758,141. NFT is -1.23% in the last 24 hours. It is currently -7.24% from its 7-day all-time high of $0.0000005443, and 2.92% from its 7-day all-time low of $0.0000004906. NFT has a circulating supply of 36.86 M NFT.
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. NFTs can represent real-world items like artwork and real estate. "Tokenizing" these real-world tangible assets makes buying, selling, and trading them more efficient while reducing the probability of fraud.
The high value of the NFTs is attributed to a collective appreciation for art. But not everyone in the space is convinced that people are spending millions on digital jpegs just because they are invested in the art. Given that anyone can view these artworks no matter how much the buyer pays for them.
It's legal to screenshot an NFT as long as you don't sell it somewhere else or pass it off as your own or post it online or wherever you want or make a physical copy. If you do this, then the owner of the NFT could sue you for copyright infringement, or you could face other criminal charges.
