    Who needs more than, let’s be excessively generous and say 500 million in total assets? That can be a really nice house, several nice cars, a boat, and a vacation home in place of your choosing. This asset valuation would then also include artwork and other such items of agreed-upon-societal-value. And if you swear you somehow need more, then youre just a miserable fuck who will never be happy without intensive therapy and even then I worry it wouldn’t be enough.

        Van Gogh? Monet? Rembrandt?Most assuredly.

        That piece you purchased directly from the artist at the gallery last month? That still has value even if it isn’t in a museum.

        I maintain my position.
