One of the worlds most popular memes have been sold for $500,000. The meme that took the media wild was known as burning house, featuring a young girl named Zoe Roth. The meme was created back in 2005 when Roth was 4 years old. Her family went to look at a house on fire in their neighborhood in North Carolina.
Firefighters had intentionally set the blaze as a controlled fire, so it wasn’t a major incident. Roth remembers watching the flames burn when her father (an amateur photographer) asked her to smile. Now, after more than a decade of having her image all around the internet Roth has sold the meme for $500,00. She has sold it as a non fungible token, or NFT. She plans to use the money to help her pay her way through college.
