- The Dogecoin Millionaire is now the Pepe Millionaire.
- Glauber Contessoto shot to crypto fame in 2021 when his Dogecoin holdings topped $1 million.
- Now, he’s chasing more meme coin millions with Brett and Floki.
Glauber Contessoto, the crypto investor, who rose to internet fame in 2021 after his Dogecoin (DOGE) holdings went up to $1 million, has now reportedly acquired more than $1.1 million worth of the PEPE.
Contessoto, who became a vocal proponent of Dogecoin during the 2021 bull run, claims he still holds over 5 million DOGE.
At current market prices, his Dogecoin portfolio is now valued at approximately $920,000 down from its peak due to recent market volatility, with DOGE dropping nearly 12% in the last month.
Earlier this year, Contessoto revealed that he sold all of his Ethereum holdings in what he described as a “rage quit,” citing disappointment over ETH’s price performance.
Instead, he transferred “hundreds of thousands of dollars” into PEPE, a meme coin inspired by the controversial internet character Pepe the Frog.
Since February, PEPE’s price has surged by nearly 37%, lifting Contessoto’s holdings over the million-dollar mark once again.
PEPE coin was originally created by artist Matt Furie in 2005, and the coin gained notoriety after being co-opted by hate groups in the mid 2010s.
