The high priest of the virtual world, Logan Paul, has tasted commendable success in the NFT game. However, it was not always a bed of roses for the YouTuber turned boxer. In fact, he once lost over half a million dollars on a single NFT. Paul recently took to social media to pay tribute to his costly mistake.

In 2021, Paul invested in a 1/1 Bumblebee NFT from On1. Moreover, it was reported that the NFT cost him 188 ETH, which translates to a whopping USD 623,000. Paul had hoped to double his profits. However, fate had other plans as the NFT ended up being worth only USD 4000, resulting in a major loss for Paul.

He recently took to Twitter to pay tribute to the mistake that once cost him over half a million. As a 99 Originals NFT, he posted a picture of himself wearing a replica Bumblebee helmet. Notably, the helmet was made by the designer who made musician Marshmello’s helmet. Paul also added that it took two months to make and cost USD 20,000.

The picture titled ‘Original #3 Bumblebee’ is currently up for auction at Paul’s 99 Originals website.
