The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs fever is still very much in season as celebrities continue to join the moving train. PSG football star Neymar Jr. becomes the newest member of the exclusive Bored Ape Yacht Club.
Neymar announced the news to his Twitter fans with a photo of his new pink ape wearing fancy futuristic glasses with the hashtag #BoredApeYC.
Neymar changed his profile photo to the Bored Ape 6633 avatar on January 20. The soccer player spent 159.99 ETH for the monkey, according to OpenSea’s records. Using the current ETH price as a benchmark, the price would be roughly $378K.
However, Ape 6633 isn’t Neymar’s only NFT. The soccer player also owns Ape 5269, a more valuable ape for which he bought 189.69 ETH (about $570K at current pricing).
The laser eyes on Neymar’s most precious ape are a popular fad among bitcoin maximalist who believe the price of Bitcoin will soon reach $100,000.

The Apes were then moved from Neymar’s “EneJay” account to a new one called “EneJayVault,” most likely for security reasons.
Neymar also owns several NFTs, including one from the ACESnikers fashion line, as well as others from the Flipped BAYC, flipped CryptoPunks, and flipped Doodles.
