It just goes to show that perhaps the rich don't deserve what they have. I have never understood why paying millions for dead artist's paintings make sense when the same artists were scorned by the rich when they were alive.

I don't understand your sentiment. People buy those paintings because they value them. Same reason we buy Packards and a 34 V12 or 56 Caribbean costs a lot more than when it was new. My other hobby is old toy trains. I can't buy a 1929 IVES Olympian for the same price it was in 1929.
How do you know artists were scorned? It seems to me many of them were greatly appreciated and lauded for their efforts. My opinion, and it's worth exactly what you paid for it, is that the rich or anyone for that matter deserve every thing they have either by dint of their ancestors foresight and labor or their own. I aspire to be more wealthy and to have my children be even more comfortable in life. To that end, I probably shouldn't be buying Packards and old trains.

NO edits made on my side. Could just have been a "glitch in the matrix" so to speak. We shall keep an eye on it.
