Steve Wynn's costly elbow


Sometime last week Steve Wynn (big time Vegas developer and hotel owner) poked a big fat hole in his Picasso that he had just sold for $139 million dollars. Apparently he was showing it to some people shortly after finalizing the sale and inadvertently rammed his elbow through the painting. The damaged Picasso is called "La Reve" or "Dream". I have never been that into Picasso but man.. That would really suck to poke a hole in one. At least he was the one that did it though.. And of course Mr. Wynn was nice enough to give the buyer his money back.
