Every so often, we hear the internet splurging on virtual art. After the news of a virtual patch of land selling for $2.4 million, we now have the sale of the Metaflower Super Mega Yacht. Developed by Metaverse developer Republic Realm, the digital yacht has fetched a whopping $650,000, making it the most expensive NFT asset in The Sandbox.
An extension of the Fantasy Islands development and one-of-one NFT that falls under the Fantasy Collection, the Metaflower consists of a DJ booth, helicopter landing pad, and hot tub, among several other amenities.
It is one of many assets that Republic Realm plans to release as part of the Fantasy Collection, which consists of a suite of luxury NFTs including private islands, jet skis, and speedboats, along with exclusive access to the members-only beach club and Fantasy Marina for holders.
