‘Disaster Girl’ selling original photo behind viral meme for $473K

She’s cashing in on her 15 minutes of flame.

The woman in the iconic “Disaster Girl” meme is capitalizing on her internet fame 16 years later — by selling the original photo for a mind-boggling $473,000.

“Disaster Girl” is now a non-fungible token (NFT), a unique digital signature, which allowed it to be sold like a piece of art.

“I’m a part of history,” said Zoe Roth, now 21, who first ignited the World Wide Web at 4 years old after she was photographed smirking devilishly outside a burning building.

Wait, still confused about what a meme is after all these years — let alone a newfangled NFT?

“A meme is a picture or video with crazy captions that people share widely because they think it’s funny and they can relate to it,” Roth explained to The Post.
