A 74-year-old fruit seller had no idea that one of his bananas, which go for 35 cents a pop, would one day be worth $6.2 million.
A reporter informed Shah Alam, who operates a fruit stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, that one of his pieces of produce had been duct-taped to the wall by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and then sold at a Sotheby’s auction last week for a whopping $6.2 million to cryptocurrency mogul Justin Sun.
