TL;DR Summary

Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun ate a banana artwork he purchased for $6.2 million, created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, in a social media stunt. Sun, who bought the piece at a New York auction, humorously commented on the banana's taste and pledged to buy 100,000 bananas for free distribution, though logistical challenges were noted by the original banana seller. Sun is known for high-profile purchases, including a $4.8 million lunch with Warren Buffett and a $28 million space trip bid.
