Tom Brady Purchases Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for 133ETH

Tom Brady is expanding his non-fungible token portfolio by purchasing Bored Ape Yacht Club, one of the most popular NFTs on the market.

The remark, which many interpreted as confirmation of the purchase, refers to #3667's "Bored Unshaven Cigarette" mouth characteristic. Some people have mistaken it for a "joint" instead of a cigarette.

Out of the 10,000 Apes in the collection, #3667 is ranked #4162 in rarity. The Bored Unshaven Cigarette, Angry Eyes, and Dark Brown Fur are among its six characteristics. Its most unique feature is its WW2 Pilot Helmet, which only 110 Apes in the collection have.

If the reports are accurate, Tom Brady will be one of the most famous members of the Yacht Club. He is only the second significant celebrity to buy a BAYC NFT since the launch of ApeCoin in March, joining Madonna, Ozzy Osbourne, and many others.

BAYC is now largely regarded as the most high-profile photo NFT project in the world, overtaking the once-dominant CryptoPunks collection. And Brady will be remembered as one of the greatest players in NFL history.

It's unclear whether Brady's admission to the Yacht Club signals potential cooperation between BAYC and Brady's crypto interests, or if he'll simply be another high-profile celebrity to join the Club.
