The company holds 129,218 bitcoins, purchased at an average price of $30.7k. **5)** Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, released luxury diapers[** **](https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/13/entertainment/gwyneth-paltrow-diapers/index.html)lined with virgin alpaca wool and fastened with amber gemstones [**for $120 per pack**](https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/13/entertainment/gwyneth-paltrow-diapers/index.html). After drawing outrage, Paltrow admitted the move was a publicity stunt to draw attention to high diaper taxes.
