Neymar Junior joined the world of NFTs in early 2022, during a period when the cryptocurrency market showed signs of a downturn, causing a significant drop in prices, particularly for NFTs.
Neymar has three NFTs from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection, a virtual exclusive club. The table shows the NFTs Neymar purchased, their initial cost, and their current value.
What did Neymar purchase?
The player acquired ownership of three Bored Ape Yacht Club “macacos”, a collection of 10,000 NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Initially sold in 2021 for an average of R$1,100 each, the minimum price for each primate rose to R$550,500 about a year later during a peak in cryptocurrency values.

Other famous people also joined in.
Several other famous individuals, including Stephen Curry, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Jimmy Fallon, purchased from one of the most popular NFT collections. However, due to the significant devaluation of cryptocurrencies and the NFT market, none of them saw a positive return on their investments.
You only lose track of who is selling, right? The tokens have been in the EneJayVault account for a while, and Neymar most likely doesn’t intend to sell them so soon.
