Greenback, I agree, but I've certainly heard something on TV about some item selling at auction for millions of dollars and thought to myself, "What a waste. Think of how much good could have been done with that money." I think feh's point might be about what things people place enormous value on, and what things they don't.
I'm very active with my synagogue and we struggle every day to find the money to fund the programs we want and need to have. When you see that some painting sold for $10 million or some pro athlete signed a multi-million dollar contract, you can't help but wonder if there aren't some misplaced priorities.
