Can you imagine or even thought that a single tweet comprising of few words can be sold for millions of dollars? I am sure that you might be thinking that what rubbish I am asking, how a single tweet can be sold for millions or leave about millions how a tweet can be sold? Well, this was my exact reaction and the exact question which came to my mind when I first read about this. In fact, let me add further to this list of weird arts which are being sold and purchased for millions. This list includes a small clip by a famous musician Grimes, Artist Beeple’s work Crossroad, which features a former US President lying face down in a field, Clips of match highlights by the National Basketball Association, and more.

Well after reading the title, you may wonder if this is something related to food or especially sandwiches. But first, let me make one thing clear to you that this is not what you are thinking of. In fact, this concept is really interesting, and yeah a bit confusing too.  So, be ready to explore and know more about this concept. You must have seen that big firms and large multinational companies generate millions of dollars in the form of their revenues and since they are earning such a huge amount of money then obviously they have to deposit a huge sum of money in the form of taxes in the government treasury.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb quoted " The central idea in the black swan is that: rare events can't be estimated from empirical observation since they are rare " Well, you can get a general idea about black swan events by reading the above quote. But if you want to explore more about black swan events then you have to first be familiar with Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a Lebanese author, an ex-banker who spent most of his financial career trading derivatives. He was the man behind the theory of swan events.
