madness?

not hardly, a good copy of the mona lisa is nearer the real thing and will hold it’s value much better than the 1000th copy of the US Dollar that the fed is pushing.

i say wise investment.

Can you imagine what a copy of the Mona Lisa by Hunter Biden would fetch nowadays? The mind can only reel...

I always thought any time someone paid big money for any painting, that it should best be called madness.

If it’s not a painting by Hunter Biden, I’m not buying.

Back in the 1960s, I read that there are several Mona Lisas that were believed to have been painted by Leonardo.

The article I read said one was stored in a Virginia Bank Vault.

She said there had been 14 bidders in an international auction and that in the last hour, the bids soared from 500,000 to 2.4 million euros, before a final bid of 2.9 million was made.

Art is an excellent way to launder drug money.
