You can own a painting of his.
I heard a sports radio station talking about Allen Iverson playing a game back in Philadelphia, home of his old team. They said the crowd was really good to him, and they played a clip of him saying "Now, I don't think I'm going to sell my house that's here. How could I?"
What I found more interesting, is the sportscaster saying his mom was signing autographs in the crowd. Now, why someone would want a players moms signature, is beyond me.
An autograph from a players mother, is probably worth next to nothing. But, something that is worth a bit of money, you could own. In fact, if anyone wants to go halves with me on it...I'm in.
Sweden is selling their most expensive painting at a big discount. And, with a few rules attached.
It's a Rembrandt, called "Conspiracy of the Batavians Under Claudius Civilis". And...it can be yours (or, ours), for $49 million. It's valued at $120 million, and my mom taught me never to pass up a bargain.
It's hung at the National museum since 1866. The arts academy that owns it, is strapped for cash, and selling it to raise money. But...here's the part I can't figure out. The buyer has to agree to donate the masterpiece to the museum, where it's one of the main attractions.
When the story came over the Associated Press, it didn't say whether that meant at some point you can take it home and put it over your fireplace. It sounds like, you don't get that opportunity.
If you do, and someone out there does go halves with me....You can have it Monday through Thursday. I want it on the weekends.
