ā€˜Disaster Girlā€™ makes over $430,000 selling the NFT of her meme

 

Now ā€œDisaster Girlā€ really has something to smirk about.

 

The face of the beloved meme ā€” which features a young girl smiling slyly into a camera as a house burns down behind her ā€” has sold a non-fungible token (NFT) of her original image for almost half a million dollars.

 

Zoe Roth was four when her amateur photographer father took the iconic picture (which featured local firefighters putting out a planned, controlled fire) in January 2005 and entered it into JPG magazineā€™s ā€œEmotion Captureā€ contest. The pic was also posted online on JPGā€™s website as part of the prize, where it has since entered internet infamy as one of social mediaā€™s most recurring memes.

 

But even though young Rothā€™s face became a Photoshop favorite, and her image was shared around the world, the family didnā€™t have a real means to monetize that ā€” until now.
