Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozali, an Indonesian student, took a photo of himself every day for five years.
He sold his selfies as NFTs as a joke, and his collection has reached a trade volume of more than $1 million.
Ghozali has expressed confusion about why his selfies have become so popular.
An Indonesian student accidentally became a millionaire after selling his selfies as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
An NFT is a unique digital asset representing ownership of real-world items such as photographs.
Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozali, 22, who studies computer science at college in Indonesia, took a photo of himself sitting in front of his computer every day for five years, according to France24.
In the photos, Ghozali looks into the camera with a distinctive expressionless look.
