but it sure can buy art. Sam Walton’s daughter Alice bought Asher B. Durand’s lovely “Kindred Spirits” at auction last week for $35 million. It was sold by the New York Public Library to raise funds.
Reportedly another interested party was Bill Gates.
Here’s a look at the painting, in case you wondered what $35 million gets you these days.
Wow. Some people lead very different lives than me. Lovely painting though.
