I will get there. . I remember i once had a friend back then in 2009, when he sees people using expensive mobile phones ,his response was he cant imagine himself buying a phn worth 30k cos he believe it a waste but today he is sending solid expensive gadget home and he is also a keen fan and lover of latest Apple iphones. . Have learnt so far that the mind if given opportunities can do amarzingly great things. . |

I'm a great lover of art but sometimes, I wonder what motivates people to buy them at such outrageous prices. My total art collection in my house isn't up to 0.000001% of these. Infact, I'm gonna get the picture of monalisa painting and frame it |

Another money laundering under the guise of selling artworks. Meanwhile, Vincent Van Gogh was clearly misunderstood during his times as an artist, his 'Starry Night' is a classical example of trying to explain yourself to the boring ears of the bystanders. |

Art collections at this level is not money laundering but bragging rights for the super super rich, meaning your friends and acquaintances can come over and marvel at the Picasso hanging on your wall. Money laundering means you are trying to turn dirty money into clean money by later reselling, no guarantee anyone will be willing to pay $100 million for a painting you bought for $50 million even 20 years from now. |

FuckTheMod: Well, that's how the society is now, people value things owned by dead people, that's why people get more famous when they die, you're only celebrated when you're no more. |

Re: Paul Allen: Late Microsoft Co-founder's Art Collection Sells For $1.5 Billion by Nobody: 4:37pm On Nov 11, 2022 |
adioolayi: Is just there. I do buy too but according my pockets. Not a big spender yet but I have friends that can buy something stupid to you for 200k at the instant. Why I said stupid cause is something you won't value to be 10k. To some, is just the beautification. Others an investment avenue to save money while some is to launder money. Also a lover of poetry can be a good collector because art work is more than words expression, it is poem itself. One of the friends had a broken art work he bought in the early 2000 for around 5k then, but resell it to my other friend, he sold it at 30k. |

I agree with you. Yeah. He is really a great man but it's all just for financial gains. The whites are experts in using sentiments and hyping to increase the value of their own people or things that are from their place. Stephen0mozzy: 1 Like |

Humans and their stupid ego,what would make a human being to buy a drawing or painting for such outrageous amount,some supposed intellectual or intellectuals would defend this nonsense and call the ART priceless and start quoting nonsense,humans are egoistical animals with stupid thirst for the absurd. |
