    We all want to live comfortably, but I’m pretty sure Monet was just looking at the beauty of what was in front of him.

    What are they on the phone discussing? Is it the client theyre bidding for? I imagine the conversation goes something like this:
    Employee (bidder): price up to $59 million now
    Client: ummmm....I want it sooooo bad but $60 million!!!??? Ohhhh I dont knowwwww!
    Employee (bidder): well now its at $62 million
    Client: awwww hell! What do I do?
    Employee (bidder): *waits patiently*
    Client: awww what the hell go for $65 million!

    This is the most beautiful painting from Monet, a wonderful example from the Impressionist movement. I would have bought it for $ 1 billon if i were that wealthy.

    I heard 59m$, so the rest is plus tax part? (also curious Sotheby's cut on this type of famous art works) - Congrats to the buyer regardless, beautiful art.

      The total includes hammer price, buyer’s premium of 10% as hammer price exceeded $6M, overhead premium, and local taxes.

    What's funny is that I bought the framed poster for $47 and enjoy it just as much, saving almost $60 Million!

      I take your point but most of the art I look at I see in art books or on my phone. So even if a piece is in a museum, most people aren't going to see it in person because they're on the wrong side of the world. For most people I don't think it makes much difference. Plus are are a lot of Monets like this in museums across the world anyway. In this case I don't think people are really missing out.

    Just as stupid as paying a sports figure millions for a game

    • @bngr_bngr
      @bngr_bngr 15 часов назад +2

      A sports figure helps generate income for a team. This painting will generate a nice tax deduction for the buyer.

    It sold for 59M NOT 65.5M as you claim in your caption above.

      65m is plus the commission paid to Sotheby’s

    The Emperors new clothes. People can be so ridiculous to make a painting worth so much. The world's a mess and people are starving and people are paying 65.5 M for what........ a small painting that's ok at best. I know its an investment. Stupid rich people

    • @bngr_bngr
      @bngr_bngr 15 часов назад +2

      It’s also a tax deduction when lent to a museum.
