NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have become extremely popular this year and some NFTs are sold for millions of dollars. As per Wikipedia “A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files.”
NFTs are digital collectibles that are one-of-a-kind, and you can't exchange them for another token like you can with other cryptos. If you are new to NFTs and want to learn more about NFTs, here is a detailed article to learn everything about NFTs: What is NFT. Learn Everything About NFTs Here,

List of the Top Most Expensive NFTs
1. Everydays: the First 5000 Days ($69.3 million)
Mike Winkelmann, nicknamed Beeple, has sold his piece "Everydays — The First 5000 Days" for $69.3 million, breaking the record for digital artwork sales and becoming one of Christie's Auction House's most valuable sales.
“Everydays — The First 5000 Days” is a JPG file that contains a collage of images created by Beeple, a single picture is usually sold at auction, but here you'll find almost everything the artist has made since he began displaying his work online in 2007.
2. CryptoPunk #3100 ($7.58 Million)
CryptoPunks is a completely new form of NFT. It was sold at a price of $7.58 million. CryptoPunk is a one-of-a-kind creature that belongs to a group of nine aliens. CryptoPunks, you see, only has 10,000 punks in stock. Furthermore, just 9 of them are aliens.
As you can see, these nine are among their most valuable collections. These are the very first NFTs to enter the market, and many of them are now selling for millions of dollars.
3. CryptoPunk #7804 ($7.57 Million)
CryptoPunk #7804 was sold for $7.57 million.
The Punk #7804 is another Alien, and this time it comes with a pair of small shades, a smoking pipe with a few clouds of smoke rising out of it, and a front-facing cap, 378 punks come with Pipe, and 317 punks come with small shades. Aliens, Apes, and Zombies are among the uncommon CryptoPunks, in addition to the regular CryptoPunks.
4. Crossroads ($6.6 Million)
Another of our most expensive NFTs is Crossroads. This is also another Beeple work, this one sold just days before the massive selling of Everydays. The artist was also able to sell this work on Nifty Gateway. This is a single piece of artwork rather than a collection, unlike Everydays. As a result, the appraised value of this artwork has increased.
