Disaster Girl is a widely shared photograph of a young girl staring into the camera while a house burns behind her.[1] [2][3]

The girl in the photo, which was taken in 2004, when the subject, Zoë Roth, was four years old, has a networth near 500,000 dollars because of the meme's popularity.[4] It was sold for $470,000 at auction on 29 April 2021.[5]
