What's happening? 

Eight years ago, Chloe and her sister Lily were sitting in the car. They thought they were going to school. Suddenly, their mother surprised them with some news. They were not going to school, but Disneyland instead! 

Lily was so excited, she burst into tears. Chloe rolled her eyes.

The picture of Chloe's sideways glance went viral and became a meme. People everywhere know her as "side-eyeing Chloe". Her face was printed on T-shirts. She was in an advert for Google in Brazil. And she has more than 500,000 Instagram followers.

Now, eight years later, the meme has been sold. A collector bought it for 25 Ether. This is around £54,000 - enough for the family to buy food for five years.

The sale has been made possible because of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. These are digital versions of images which mean that only one person can own the original. 

Chloe is not the first meme to be sold for a fortune. In February, the Nyan Cat meme sold for $600,000. And this year, Doge broke the record by selling for $3m. 

Some say

No! Real art has a serious side. They ask important questions, even if they are funny. Memes are just silly jokes. Artists train for years to make their work. Anyone can take a photo or a video. It is crazy that a meme of a dog should cost more than a classic painting by a famous artist.

Others think 

Why not? Art is a mirror to our life. We live in a digital world. Memes reflect that. There is a reason memes are popular with millions of people. And the people who made them and are in them deserve to get some money from it. Lots of art was not popular when it was first made but later became a classic. We should celebrate memes!
