A Chinese-born cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Justin Sun, recently followed through on his promise to consume the banana from the controversial artwork Comedian, a piece valued at $6.2 million (£4.9 million).
The artwork, created by Maurizio Cattelan in 2019, features a banana duct-taped to a wall, and Sun secured it at a Sotheby’s auction in New York after outbidding six other participants.
The fresh banana that day cost just 35 cents, but it is now possibly one of the most expensive fruits in the world.
