Show me the Monet (yeah, i went there)

Just heard on the radio about this: Monet painting sells for $83m

The story seemed concerned with the fact that most art pundits (tipsters?) were worried that the painting my not hit the lofty dollar signs that it might have say, 10 years ago when the world economy was a little better.

World economy? Let me give you a tip:

There are still rich people. There always will be. There is global economic downturn because these people are getting even richer.
