A fool and his money are easily parted, clearly more money than sense. What a plonker

If that is a serious question looking for a serious answer, here you go:

The banana isn't actually part of the "investment". Neither is the tape. All this bought was a certificate authorizing him to duct tape a banana to the wall and to call entitled it, "comedian". He's not the only to do it... this same "certificate" has been sold many times over.

On top of the millions, he had to also buy his own tape and banana.

For ing sake what the is this -up world coming to?

Lunacy. The saying that a fool and his money are soon parted was never more appropriate. The owner of this piece of “art” deserves to be $6M poorer.
