23. Trevor Jones
Jones is another phenomenal success story because he didn’t even attend college until his 30s. Then the Scottish artist took multiple dead-end jobs to support his painting career. His success in the world of NFTs is a testament to his dedication and perseverance.
He sold his Bitcoin Angel for a record $3.2 million in 2021. This was also the most expensive open-edition NFT artwork ever. Another reason why he’s interesting is that he primarily uses classical methods to create art. Jones loves oil painting and uses this as his main medium (via Coin Desk).
