  2. All the homeless that money could’ve fed!

  3. Art is whatever you can get away with.

  4. I'm sorry did she really compare Leonardo DaVinci to Andy Warhol? Sure Warhol is iconic but DaVinci is a legend

  5. NBC news , why you are not interested to say Israel is killing journalist? Why you supporting Israel? Time will not forgive you.

  6. Regular people can't afford gas or groceries, but the rich can afford to pay record setting prices for art and Twitter!!

  7. We have lost touch with reality lol

  8. buying art remains one of the foremost methods of money laundering, for some context

  9. The World has officially gone insane 💯

  10. Makers should understand viewer's FAMELAA.Uno time for this show under 6:00 to 8:00 … There is no time of this show. They upload episode when they wantf and people wait all day 𓆟

  11. The mob media like CNN, MSNBC, ABC news, NBC and others, continue making show us what is really to be racist giving commentaries racists like how Elon Musk is racist because he bought Twitter or because he was against that the Twitter banned Donald Trump. These anchors media are racists and show us that they sgould to be eliminated of the media. Isn´t because you are black man or woman that you can go out talking anyting against the people white or black thinking that due the racism law you have the right to make this. I disagree about the racism law because this law should to be both side like when the white people attck the black people and when the black people attack the white people too.

  12. Suicide ? Why Isn't it, worth it, it cost one life to be Worshipped as she is still today.

  13. Why would one painting be worth so much ?

  14. Who actually gets that money?
