New York-based art collective MSCHF set up an ATM Leaderboard at Art Basel Miami Beach, and while it might look like a standard cash withdrawal machine, there’s an interesting twist. Once used, your account balance and a snapshot is displayed publicly for everyone to see. A man wearing a pink shirt has sat atop the leaderboard since Tuesday with a bank account balance of $2.9-million.
Second place is not far behind with a $1.75-million account balance, although the main idea behind ATM Leaderboard is more simple than you think. Put simply, MSCHF figured that people attending Art Basel Miami Beach would be really flashy and want to show off, but that has not been the case, as it’s been reportedly underutilized so far.

It’s really interesting, because whether or not people end up putting their card in, everyone has their moment with it. You can see them going through this introspective pause where they’re asking themselves if they can go through with it,” said Liz Ryan, another MSCHF artist.
