Disaster Girl’ selling original photo behind viral meme for $473K
“A meme is a picture or video with crazy captions that people share widely because they think it’s funny and they can relate to it,” Roth explained to The Post. In Roth’s case, her viral visage became the face of deviant youths everywhere. “In 2005, my dad took a picture of me standing in front of a house fire,” she told The Post. “I was standing there looking evil, as if I started the fire — but oh my gosh, no, I didn’t.” Fast-forward 16 years: The modern-day Mona Lisa sold for a whopping 180 Ethereum — the equivalent of $473,000 — to a collector simply known as @3FMusic, reported Daily Mail. It’s speculated that the buyer is in fact Farzin Fardin Fard, CEO of a Dubai-based music production company, according to Gizmodo. The owner has since anonymously released a statement to Gizmodo: “Our management team is always in cooperation with some highly knowledgeable and experienced art advisers who believe that we must grow with technological movements that help us to not only promote our business but also to support artists and the art market.” Read Also: Who is Disaster Girl?

The fam was scoping out a controlled burn — a fire that’s set intentionally for the purpose of land management — when Dave snapped a photo of his daughter fiendishly smiling in front of the inferno. The photo won Dave JPG magazine’s “Emotion Capture” contest in 2008, whereupon it set the net ablaze. Roth, now a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told The Post, “The best part was being flown to LA to be a part of National Geographic’s series on the history of the internet.” Determined to capitalize on their internet fame, they turned “Disaster Girl” into an NFT, which is coded in such a way that Roth and her dad can reap 10% of profits whenever it is sold in the future. The dynamic duo apparently plan to divide the earnings while the former child star is reportedly “researching nonprofits” she can donate to. In doing so, the team actually has ownership of their online opus, unlike so many other viral meme makers. “Being able to sell it just shows us that we do have some sort of control, some sort of agency in the whole process,” gushed a grateful Roth. With this latest NFT sale, “Disaster Girl” joins other digital-age da Vincis, including the immortal “Overly Attached Girlfriend” ($529,798), the 2011 pop tart-kitten meme “Nyan Cat” ($590,000), Grumpy Cat ($100,894.54), and even an NFT of Chris Crocker’s infamous “Leave Britney Alone” rant from 2007 ($43,000).
