A 12-year-old boy from London reportedly made nearly $350,000 by selling a series of non-fungible tokens during his school holidays. The good thing, he doesn’t have a bank account, but he holds everything in ether.

Ahmed used his school holidays to take digital photos and transform them into whale emojis. He called these whales “Weird Whales,” which were then sold online in the form of NFTs. Previously, the kid had tokenized a Minecraft-inspired set, which was not sold in the market due to its low popularity.
go viral
“I only had a few followers on my Twitter. Luckily someone with the same interest on Twitter retweeted me and today I have over 12 million followers, from the BBC to New York Post to Geo News, everyone picked up on my news,” the confident young man said.

Winst in Ethereum
Imran Ahmed, the young boy’s father, taught Benyamin and his brother to code from the age of six. Despite his son not being able to open a bank account due to age restrictions, Imran said:
“He is very creative, has no bank account and no accountant, which is why he keeps his money in an online blockchain.”
In addition, the father clarified that the earnings from NFT sales have been converted into Ethereum, which he keeps regardless of price fluctuations.
There is a lot of money to be made with NFTs, something little Benyamin has proven. One record after another is broken throughout the year. View the list here most expensive NFTs ever, or yes, until the record is likely to be broken again next week.
