What amazing collectibles, art, automobiles, properties, planes, food, clothing and other items that carry price tags can simply be purchased with money? When did this happen?
I’m noticing a trend here it seems people of significant net worth are able to build massive collections. Even in some cases the world is better for it because these folks leave these collections to open or seed great museums.

They probably leave the stuff because it wasn’t anything special they did. After all they only did it because they had money…
