From Dogecoin Millionaire to 'Meme King': Glauber Contessoto Now All-In on Pepe, Brett, and Floki
Glauber Contessoto, who made waves with his all-in on Dogecoin, is back with a new title: “Pepe Millionaire,” and his journey isn’t over yet.
Four years after becoming a household name with the moniker “Dogecoin Millionaire,” Glauber Contessoto has now added another title: “Pepe Millionaire.” And if his next plan goes all right, he’ll also be known as Brett and Floki.
Across six crypto wallets shared with Decrypt, Contessoto now holds over $1.11 million worth of PEPE, while his DOGE holdings of around 5 million tokens – currently worth nearly $920,000, just shy of the million-dollar mark due to recent price volatility.
“I’ve never sold a penny of DOGE. But this time, I will, trust me,” Contessoto said.
“I sold all my ETH, I went all in on Pepe”
In early 2024, Contessoto said he sold all of his Ethereum holdings because he was “so disappointed with the performance.” The proceeds, which amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars, were all converted to PEPE.
With PEPE’s price up nearly 37% since late February, his risk-taking decision has paid off, putting him back in the meme coin millionaires club once again.
“Pepe is an iconic meme. Even if you don’t know the name, you’ve seen his face somewhere on Reddit, Twitter, or Facebook,” he explained. “And I like the edginess of Pepe, as opposed to the friendly, family-like nature of DOGE.”
It doesn’t stop there: Brett and Floki are next
Contessoto said he also invested $100,000 in both Brett and Floki, two other meme coins that are trending in the crypto ecosystem.
“I didn’t set out to be a multi-coin meme millionaire,” he laughed. “But now why not? It’s my thing.”
Where did the money come from? “I took advantage of the 2021 hype”
When he became famous for DOGE, Contessoto didn’t just sit back and watch his wallet rise. He was making $10,000 a month on YouTube, working on music channels like HipHopDX, selling merchandise, and getting paid to appear in documentaries and blockchain events.
He’s now a social media influencer, participating in marketing campaigns and collaborating on Web3 projects.
“I used the media leverage of 2021 to generate cash flow. Now? I’m using it to bet on the future of meme coins.”
DOGE Lessons: This Time Will Be Different
While DOGE made him a millionaire at one point, failing to cash out in time has Contessoto now considering a new strategy.
“I’m not going to let 2025 go by without selling at least half of my DOGE,” he says. “I’ve learned my lesson. It’s time to be smarter.”
Conclusion
Glauber Contessoto is more than just a meme coin “degenerator.” He’s the embodiment of a new breed of investor: one who thinks big, plays big, and turns internet culture into digital assets.
Will “Brett millionaire” or “Floki millionaire” be the next? Maybe—in Glauber’s world, it’s just a matter of time.
