— Eliud Kipchoge – EGH🇰🇪 (@EliudKipchoge) April 3, 2021 Ethereum’s value has risen significantly, and the same amount today would work out to $5 million. Even since Kipchoge’s NFT auction closed on April 8, the value of ether has continued to rise, and while his sales earned him $50,000 then, the same sale would add up to about $55,000 now. (Of course, if he hasn’t sold the ether for regular currency, Kipchoge’s Ethereum account will have updated and grown accordingly.) Kipchoge reportedly earned 17.9837 ether between his two auctions. His INEOS 159 Challenge highlight package (in which Kipchoge will be seen running 1:59:40) was the more popular and hotly contested NFT of the two available, and the auction got up to 14.8837 ether before it was sold. The 2018 Berlin Marathon highlight package features Kipchoge’s official marathon world record of 2:01:39, and it went for the still-high (although much more reasonable) price of 3.1 ether. Those are the only two NFTs that Kipchoge has sold so far. He has a race set for Sunday at the NN Mission Marathon in the Netherlands, though, where he will hope to run another NFT-worthy result.
