So apparently the original Dogecoin millionaire just became a Pepe millionaire instead? Dude liquidated his entire Ethereum stack earlier this year and yolo'd it all into PEPE. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars just swapped over. His reasoning was basically that Pepe has the same cultural weight as Doge—like everyone knows that frog face whether they realize it or not. It's been everywhere on the internet forever.



Glauber Contessoto made waves back in 2021 when his Doge holdings hit $1M. Now he's claiming around $1.1M in PEPE across verified wallets, plus he still holds over 5M DOGE (though that's sitting around $920k at current prices). He dropped $100k into three different meme coins last spring—Pepe, Brett, and Dogwifhat—but only the first two really panned out. Says he's planning to become a millionaire in Brett and Floki too, which is kind of wild when you think about it.

The funny part? He's still holding all his original Doge. Hasn't sold a single coin since 2021. He claimed he'd sell when Bitcoin peaked, and it did multiple times, but he still didn't pull the trigger. Now he's insisting he'll at least offload half by end of 2025. We'll see if that actually happens or if he just holds everything into the ground again lol.

Funds come from YouTube, merch sales, speaking gigs, and sponsored posts apparently. The dude basically turned his 2021 crypto fame into a side hustle. Interesting strategy betting everything on meme coins recognizability and cultural staying power rather than fundamentals.
DOGE-2.59%
PEPE-5.72%
ETH-3.12%
BRETT-8.4%
