DOGE Coin Millionaire Turns PEPE Rich After Losing DOGE Fortune in 2021

By Onyi | Edited By Ammar Raza,June 12, 2025, 8:30 PM

DOGE
  • Glauber Contessoto, once a DOGE coin millionaire, has bounced back with over $1 million in PEPE spread across six wallets. 
  • He switched from Ethereum to PEPE in February 2025 after ETH dropped from $3,800 to $1,555, citing PEPE’s strong meme appeal and cultural edge.

DOGE coin millionaire Glauber Contessoto is back to making huge profits from crypto, but this time, it’s from a different meme coin. In early 2021, Contessoto made a huge bet on DOGE and made huge profits before the market crashed. Apparently, he put in about $180K into Dogecoin and turned it into $3 million only to watch it crash to about $200K when the market tumbled.

Now he’s back in the spotlight and riding a new meme-coin hype on PEPE. He’s using the lessons from his past experience to avoid the same mistakes and is carefully plotting his next move.

DOGE Coin Millionaire Shifts Memecoin Buy Strategy

According to his X post, Contesoto now holds over $1 million worth of PEPE spread across six wallets. He still owns his original 5 million DOGE, currently valued at around $990,000. Earlier in February, he switched his Ethereum holdings to PEPE after watching ETH fall from $3,800 to $1,555 over the course of 11 months. According to him, his decision to switch assets came from his convictions on PEPE in terms of memecoin. He believes it’s one of the few meme tokens with the DOGE level of recognition.

He also likes PEPE’s tone and edge, saying it captures the real, raw side of online culture in a way that DOGE doesn’t. Looking back, he admits holding meme tokens for too long during the last bull market and regrets not cashing out sooner. He now understands that buying is simple, but selling at the right time is tough.

Learning from experience, he plans to sell half of his DOGE by the end of 2025, aiming to avoid past mistakes.
