In a March 26 blog post by former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal, Pal admitted to paying 140 ETH (worth about $400,000 at the time of purchase) for Bored Ape #7894 (“Seneca”).
Pal said he bought this particular ape because of the simplicity of its design and because he liked the rare laurel wreath and its symbolism.
It is reported that Pal worked at Goldman Sachs Co., Ltd., co-managing the European hedge fund’s equity and equity derivatives sales business. Currently, he is the CEO of Real Vision, a financial and business video channel.
