I'm a fan of the arts and I value great pieces of art. But think of all the abused women or orphanded children or neglected animals or wounded veterans or whatever this money could do. I guess I'll never understand unless I win a huge powerball lottery. BUy a nice 19 fucking million dollar piece, give the rest away(huge tax write off) help some people and leave the one of a kinds at the museum where everyone can enjoy it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

What the FUCK is wrong with people?

They're so far removed from reality.

Hmm, should i feed a village of starving children for 10 years......or buy a canvas with some oil on it?

Yeah, it'd have been nice to spend that on something more "worthy", but it's that person's money.

Also, spending it on a village anywhere would be waste though.

I Would create the best halfway house for abused women and their kids. Help these women get back on there feet( with some kava maga classes) Then I would start a legal defense fund so when I go and beat the piss out of the men that caused the women to need the halfway house, I'm covered.
