You're walking on the beach and stumble upon a small brass

lamp.  You pick it up, brush off the sand and a genie pops out.

He makes you an unbelievable gift of $44 million dollars!  There's

just one catch - it all has to be spent on just one purchase.

What do you buy?  Here are some suggestions:

Or maybe jewelry is your thing . . . .

Warren Buffett's investment company, Berkshire Hathaway, is
currently the most expensive stock in the world - trading for
$200,000 a share.  Let's put you down for a portfolio of 200 shares.

Regardless of how you spend your windfall, an anonymous
phone bidder gave their genie a stroke by buying a ping-pong
table for $44 million dollars:

Actually, it isn't a ping-pong table.  It's New York painter Barnett Newman's
abstract painting titled Onement VI that was auctioned by Sotheby's. 


Barnett painted the 8.5' x 10' "masterpiece" in 1953.
Here is the artist with his creation:

Art aficionados are urged to not confuse Newman's
Onement VI with his 1951 painting Cathedra:

Yup, another ping pong table, just bigger.

I think the genie just shook his head and retreated back
into the lamp.  Could have had a NY penthouse.

Before I'd spend $44 million dollars on a painted ping-pong
table I'd create a foundation that encouraged recycling.

Happy Earth Day 2015
