For this photo, I think the pose alone is worth $3,999. But they could have done better, when it came to printing it, at that price.
There are some rich folks out there...

That's actually a photo from formal night on a cruise last year. Probably bought it for 50 and had it blown up and put on canvas for another hundred.
It's about the story not the quality.

Mine is $4200.00 per year, for two of us.

Handled a private Airbus and got to go inside (after taking shoes off). Man, nicer than almost any house I've been in. Estimated 20-25k an hour I think.
Heard a story from one of the pilots passing through while shooting the breeze. A couple people were jet-setting from the West coast to the East coast for a BBQ lunch/dinner affair. Halfway there (on their Gulfstream 550, no less) they realize they forgot the steaks in the freezer and ask the pilots to turn around. Of course they had to turn around, fly all the way back, land, chauffeur picks them up and takes them home to get the steaks, back to the airport, and took off again.
Mind blowing to see what kind of expenses people rack up going through, the cars they drive, etc. A totally different world. Keeps me employed though!

They got a bottle of 50 year old whiskey on dispaly in the cabinet of one of my favorite hangouts.
$3,500/pour.
...and I do not mean a like a healthy tall double pour...a shot.
I think it goes well with the $175 seafood tower appetizer.

Slap it on a pillow...cheaper than a $4k picture frame.

Did this as a gift for my mom with her dog on it...loved it.

I was at a bar in the Atlanta area once where someone ordered some kind of old brandy. It went for somewhere in the $500/shot range. The manager came out and supervised the pouring of the shot.
In other news, Berkshire B shares closed at 166.35 today. Other than price, I'm not sure what the difference between the A and B shares is. Mr. Buffet was forced to do a split on the B shares a few years ago due to some deal he wanted to make. I think they were trading around $2k/share at the time.

I believe voting rights are attached to the A shares...not so with B shares. Could be wrong but seldom am.

That split was for the acquisition of a railroad, BNSF. It was a demand of the railroad, which wanted to give their smaller shareholders a choice of cash or moderately priced B shares of Berkshire.
I wish Berkshire had not split. Keeping the share price high kept the number of shareholders down, so that the annual meeting was somewhat manageable. But now as many as 30,000 show up, and I have to get in line at 5 AM to beat the crowds.

Well, now is one of those times.
The only right that's unique to Berkshire A shares is that their owner can opt to convert them to B shares, at a ratio of 1500:1, while the owner of a B share has no right to to convert them to A. This asymmetry assures that the market will never price A shares at a sizable discount to 1500 B shares.

Girlfriend did that with my face on a pillow for my grandma for mother's day. Creepiest thing I've ever seen.

Photography is an art and there are high and low end services. In many (but not means all) you get what you pay for. As for high end portrait photography, Annie Leibovitz would have to be one of the biggest names. They are beautiful images, but are probably not worth the cost to mere mortals like us.
That being said, you should have known their pricing structure before getting there. If it wasn't clear on their site or when you made the appointment, that needs to be fixed.

Going to bundle this with a lot of creative services. Too many workers, and right/left brain-ism in the industry, its almost too easy finding someone that is skilled and charging a barely livable wage. The best I do is thank them, and throw as much business there way I can. Once in a while I get lucky and can no longer afford their rates.
