If you ever strike it rich, hire a financial planner first thing. And when he tells you to invest in the stock market or in real estate, tell him to go fly a kite.

I’m going to tell you the big news. If you buy art, it will almost always sell for more than the cost of canvas and paints.

I opened my news feed this morning, and I see this:

Picasso paintings stolen in Paris
At least two Picasso paintings with a combined value of 50m euros (£33.7m) have been stolen from his granddaughter’s home in Paris.

50m euros?? (Translates to $65,884,979.74 USD)
For this?? and another one that looks similar?

Now, I know that art is subjective. Your tastes are yours, and mine are mine. There are people who are in awe of Picasso’s art. I admire his technical style, I like most of the colors he uses, they do invoke a reaction in me. Just probably not the reaction he was hoping for…unless he really liked people wincing when they saw his art.

But when you strike it rich, don’t buy art that other people tell you will be the next big thing. Buy what you like. Because unless it’s from your neighbors bottle cap and gum collection, it will probably increase in value which is a good thing for your descendants.

Although……gum art doesn’t do to bad either…
