THE TOP 10 MOST EXPENSIVE NFTs
#10 BEEPLE’S CROSSROAD
$6.6M
First, we’re starting off with the least, most expensive NFTs on this list – BEEPLE’S CROSSROAD. This is saying a lot considering that this non-fungible resold on the NFT secondary market for 6.6 MILLION DOLLARS. It features a 10-second video of people walking past a large blond body with very weird insults written all over.
This #1/1 from Beeple’s first drop was one of the most historical moments in NFT history. It sold on Nifty Gateway near the end of February 2021 to an anonymous buyer. Kinda sketchy?
#9 CRYPTOPUNK #7804
$7.6M
Next, we’ve got CRYPTOPUNK #7804 on our list of most expensive NFTs. This non-fungible from LarvaLabs sold for exactly 4,200 ETH amounting to almost 7.6 MILLION DOLLARS at the time!
The transaction happened in early March of 2021. It is one of 9 Alien CryptoPunks with a forward cap, pipe, and small shades.
#8 CRYPTOPUNK #3100
$7.67M
Also, we’ve got yet another punk joining the most expensive NFTs – the CRYPTOPUNK #3100. This LarvaLabs NFT is almost tied with #7804 with purchases being almost around the same time! To be exact it was the VERY next day!
It also sold for 4,200 ETH which amounted to about 7.67 MILLION DOLLARS. The Alien punk sporting a headband is the 7th most rare Cryptopunk in existence.
#7 CRYPTOPUNK #4156

So, this marks the third of the most expensive NFTs for LarvaLab’s Cryptopunks – CRYPTOPUNK #4156. And, it is an ideal example of NFT resale!
It sold for exactly 2,500 ETH which amounted to roughly 10.26 MILLION DOLLARS in December 2021. However, about 10 months before this, the seller had bought it for 650 ETH (~1.25 Million dollars). Talk about cashback!
#6 CRYPTOPUNK #7523
$11.75M
But, then we have the CRYPTOPUNK #7523 which is the third rarest NFT in the LarvaLab Cryptopunk collection. If you can’t already tell by its 11.75 MILLION DOLLAR price tag, then you trippin’!

#5 CRYPTOPUNK #5822

The super-expensive Alien Cryptopunk sold at the beginning of 2022 in February for exactly 8,000 ETH! That’s like twice #7523!
#4 BEEPLE’S HUMAN ONE

#2 BEEPLE’S EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS
$69.3M
MOREE BEEPLE! Yes, Beeple owns 3 out of the 10 most expensive NFTs on this list! It is definitely HIS most expensive piece to be ever sold at 69.3 MILLION DOLLARS!
However, this piece is even more unique since it marks the 5000 days that Beeple designed artwork. WITHOUT FAIL since 2007.
#1 PAK’S ‘THE MERGE’
$91.8M
Finally, we’ve got another piece by Pak – THE MERGE – which sold for 91.8 MILLION DOLLARS. However, we should note that this sale featured 30,000 collectors that pitched together the sum.
