13 year old Nyla Hayes is an aspiring artist. And she’s already made millions from her drawings. So, I guess we can leave out the word “aspiring”, can’t we. Nyla is a millionaire because she make NFTs that people are gobbling up. She usually draws famous women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Lucille Ball. But, she draws them with really long necks. She does that because she’s always like Brontosaurus dinosaurs. So, she incorporated that aspect into the humans in her drawings. And it caught on……. The brontosaurus necked, famous women pictures. Which made a 13 year old around 6 million dollars so far.

Nyla makes the money by posting the pictures to an NFT site where they sell for crypto currency. When she started though, she was shy about her pictures and only showed them to family and friends. It was her uncle who convinced her to start posting them as NFTs. I hope he’s getting a cut. She wasn’t thinking money back then. According to Nyla, “I just thought it would be cool to put my art out there and show people that but to see how people react to it,” Hayes said. “I was never expecting it to blow up like this.”

Nyla has already drawn more than 3,000 portraits. Read more by CLICKING HERE.
