A collector shelled out $28,341,909 for a chair today. Yes, a chair. The estimate for the piece was between $2,587,711 - $3,881,567, about $25 million below what someone actually paid.   :-?

I don't see a built-in toilet or refrigerator.

Not worth it.

That just proves that idiots are in all parts of society , even the well to do.

I thought maybe it was going to be the "chair" Elvis died on.

Yeah, there are a lot of idiots out there - why I have even heard of people paying $18 - $40 for a crank-b....Oh, wait - never mind!

It should come with a fridge, toilet and personal area massager for that cost.

The chair was probably bought by someone who sells $18 - $40 crankbaits... ;D

looks like it has a touch of the herpes

There is an *** for every seat. Literally, in this case.

i think its pretty ugly...  :-?

If that chair was in my house right now, I would probably take it out to throw away. 28kk, I have no idea what happened there...

Let's put it into perspective.  If this was paid for one chair, imagine the rest of the collection. 

I know why it costs so much, it's the Mastodon tusks on the sides and the genuine Mastodon leather....

Robert's been busy in his workshop

People collect chairs???

Fail.

Is farting acceptable with other people in the room if you do it in a 28million dollar chair?

P.T. Barnum was right.

Someone people have money to burn.

Reminds me of a line from the movie 'Predator'

'One ugly _______ _______'

I hope they list the buyer's name; I've got some worthless stuff he might be interested in overpaying for.
