Well, if you're rich you do not necessarily expect an investment return. And we have obscene richness in the world.

I was going to have a bid on this it took all of 30s to get past my max bid of £16k.......LOL......there were clearly 2 pretty desperate people wanting this.....not sure they'll be seeing a return on there investment anytime in the distant future.....who knows?
