This expenditure is obscene. Were I a billionaire, I would use that $170 million to help several worthy persons start new businesses. I would take between ten to twenty-five percent of the profits, while the major share would go to them. So many people are going without, and you waste that gigantic sum on collecting art? I'm glad he made it from taxi driver to billionaire, but this is like Pharoah building himself a pyramid instead of doing more for Egypt's poor.
