I might believe that $1700 for a glass of wine is insane (I do), or that Marilyn Monroe’s dress is a waste of money at $4 million (I do). But the reality of life is different. The value of something is based on what someone is willing to pay for it. So if someone wants to spend 142,000 for a bottle of wine, or 450 million for a painting, or 30 million for a car, then that’s what that particular item is worth.
