To everyone’s surprise, even those immersed in these metaverses of blockchains and virtual coins, a mega yacht named Metaflower Super Mega Yacht released by Republic Realm, a metaverse developer, sold in November 2021 for 149 Ethereum virtual coinage (valued at US$650,000).
As of this writing (January 2022), this maritime NFT, Metaflower, is the most expensive asset sold in the Ethereum-based blockchain metaverse. Take a look at this NFT for yourself.
The virtual mega yacht is luxury well-imagined with 3 decks that include two helipads, several lounge areas, a jacuzzi, and a DJ booth.
The Metaflower NFT was part of a luxury series developed for The Sandbox. The series categorized in the site’s ‘Fantasy Collection’ gave holders exclusive access to a beach club and ‘Fantasy Marina’ within which they could purchase the Metaflower and other mega yachts as well as speed boats, private islands, jet skis, and, well, basically, all the luxury maritime things that the wealthy enjoy purchasing in the non-virtual world…the place we call reality.
