If you could have a beautiful portrait of any one person, who would you choose?

I’m tempted to say I’d want the original Mona Lisa. But there’s that pesky adjective, beautiful, in there. Sure, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. But come on, no eyebrows?! Obviously I’d want the portrait solely because of its associated price tag. Let’s say I obtained it legally and free of charge, then was able to sell it for 9-figures. I’d undoubtedly end up suffering from seller’s remorse a couple years down the road when it’s inevitably purchased by a private collector for $1 billion worth of Bitcoin. Remember, I had to fork over a 13.5% fee to Christie’s. A week later, Bitcoin is up 20%. So now, instead of a potentially tax-free $1.2 billion, I’m left relatively poor with a paltry $50 million after taxes. I read it costs about $36,000 every hour an F-35 fighter jet is flown. With the income taxes I paid, I’d essentially be responsible for about 6 straight weeks of F-35 flight. Trying to calculate how many circumnavigations of the globe that equates to, though, makes me want to rip out my own eyebrows.

  1. I was going to say the same as Diane. My Mother. Since she said that I’ll say my 4 grandchildren. That would be impossible. You would never get those 4 to sit still at the same time. My granddaughter Jessica did draw me a picture of the 4 of them. I had it framed and it hangs proudly on my wall.

  2. I am going to say the obvious answer. Definitely not the Mona Lisa. I actual saw the painting in person and not only does she not have eyebrows, it is really a small portrait. I expected this huge painting covering the wall. It looked like an 8×10 cause wall was so big. I know it isn’t that small but definitely not worth the money in any currency. My answer is my mother.
