- Sean Kelly started a multi-million dollar business selling T-shirts to rappers on the Jersey Champs.
He continued to release PSA to America to sell N-95 masks with silent partners during the pandemic, growing that business with two employees to $15 million by 2020. The 24-year-old from Las Vegas has now moved on to his next project: Chibi Dinos NFT, a community revolving around a dinosaur anime called Chibis.
Chibi Dinos in dinosaur costumes and T-shirts from 10 baseball teams featured in the irreplaceable symbol (NFT). “It’s considered collecting, like Pokemon cards,” he said. In the case of Chibi Dinos, they can be purchased with Ethereum.
Kelly said that the first 10,000 Chibi Diinos sold out in 22 minutes on Aug. 20 on OpenSea, the affiliate marketplace for NFT. They are set at 0.06ETH. He and his NFT launch partners Chibi Dinos – Kevin Moses, Dan Rosenberg, and Roxy Jager – are making the world go round on Twitter and Discord and through influential people on social media.
Each Chibi Dinos is unique.
Kelly said that some buyers who receive rare coins the day they are minted immediately sell them for a profit. “Some people buy it to make money,” he said. “Some collect it.”

He was not alone and saw the possibilities in this room. PEOPLE, an NFT artist, sold the $69 million coin, he said. Christie’s sells this digital collage. Kelly and her colleagues are building a Discord community on the site. Discord is a free voice, video, and text chat app.
The site is planning to host giveaways to generate excitement and has ordered 100 chibi dinos for them. “Our goal is to raise prices so people don’t lose money, and we can build a community,” he said. Kelly said he and his co-founders came up with the idea for the website more than a week before launch. “We work fast,” he said.
As for his other businesses, Kelly continues to run Jersey Champagne; he also continues the mask business, but mainly by looking after existing customers. After all, he hopes to bring Chibi Dinos to life through virtual reality. “We want to get into the game,” he said.
