The concept of the metaverse has become so widespread that there is a gigantic proportion of people who believe that there is a virtual “place” that serves as an access point.
What does exist are a multitude of proposals that fall under the Metaverse initiative, such as virtual games, digital universes to connect to for socializing, or other types of initiatives.
Celebrities in the metaverse:
Snoop Dogg
He has landed in The Sandbox which is one of the metaverses on the Ethereum blockchain.
This space is going to create a virtual representation of his real mansion that he has in California. He has already announced that, once his virtual home is open, he will use it to arrange various events, such as car shows, virtual concerts where he will perform himself, or pool parties.
Quite a few people are still waiting to go to Snoop Dogg’s virtual mansion, and best of all: there is someone who has applied for the chance to be Snoop Dogg’s virtual neighbor, so he has bought the house next door.
Paris Hilton
Paris has also brought her real mansion to the virtual realm, so her fans will be able to see it up close. Not only that, but she mentions that one of the attractions of being able to go to her mansion virtually is that users will be able to go into her closet and digitally merchandise several of her clothes.
Other celebrities in the Metaverse
Celebrity Lim Junjie, one of Singapore’s most celebrated artists, has invested a huge proportion of money in buying land in Decentraland.
Model Sara Sampaio has bought a private island in Sandbox while Vashu Bhagnani has invested in buying a virtual place known as Poojaverse to be used by his organization.
Also, tennis player Stanislas Wawrinka has bought a private island in Sandbox.
Metaverse costs
Land values in the metaverse have grown enormously in 2021: if we take the data from the analysis, in the first month of the year of 2021 they had an average cost of $100, however, already in the last month of the year of that same year, the figure climbed to $15,000 on average.
Along the same lines, according to Forbes, around 8,000 virtual lands were sold per month in the two worlds (The Sandbox and Decentreland), at an average transaction cost of 3.5 Ethereum between November 2021 and January 2022.
