The highest-selling NFT on OpenSea went for 37 ETH — or about $41,000 at current prices — on Saturday. The black and white image is a depiction of Trump dressed in a tuxedo standing in front of a staircase.

The collection was announced with an initial mint price of $99 per card and sweepstake prizes including a one-on-one meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago and hand-signed memorabilia. It also guaranteed those who bought 45 NFTs a ticket to a gala dinner with Trump in South Florida.

Trump and the collection were spoofed in the opening segment of NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
