So Expensive Season 4 Marathon 

Love how you didn't bother to mention apple's main supplier of motherboards foxconn had to put suicide prevention nets around the roof of their factory. Seems more like an add for apple then a reasonable break down of the value. Really top notch journalism........

Why not bother to interview in a single "real" truffle-eater, and ask them why they are willing to pay such a steep price? Other than show-off their wealth, of course.

yes the artist brushes i have them in my warehouse some of them can go up to 450£ each

Honestly, high quality brushes are just a means to an end for making it easier to finesse a painting with the detail one wants right off gate.

To each their own. For me though, I could care less. The harder the struggle the more deliberate the ideas.

Brushes are a tool. Expensive tools are aimed at professionals. I'm an electrician by trade, I don't use a £30 multimeter from a hardware store I use a £700 Fluke. The same holds true for brushes. Most of us, myself included will never get the best from a good brush just like most people don't need the range and accuracy of an expensive multimeter or the sound quality of £5,000 studio headphones or what ever other crazy expensive version of a normal every day tool you can think of.

My mom thought I was crazy, but I bought two high end expensive brushes. never had a problem with them. I am very picky about my cleaning haha

Fun fact: Sable brushes are not used for art. Theyre more commonly used in the dental ceramics industry where they are used to hand-tint the ceramic for a realistic appearance. So you're overpaying for a brush.

I agree Art.

@lo correct

@@user-vz2mc5qt1e Sad but true. But if you were an artist you would understand. They are going to make them wether I buy them or not. And at these current prices I've not bought them since 1982. I keep them very, very well and use the same ones to this day.

RU-vid is such a weird place omg

Drawing a lifelike portrait of a person aint a incredible skill, basically anyone can learn to paint what looks like a picture. Its much harder to break the barriers and have the tought process to create something truly unique like a few lines on a canvas or a simple splash of red paint. To get to the point to create something like this takes years, decades or even a lifetime (and almost everybody who makes stuff like this can paint perfectly traditionaly). The street artist around the corner just got the basic skill without creating something what expresses his true self or a clear personal vision, thats why his work is only a few hundred dollars and not millions.

Let me explain how it works. Millionaire one purchases 5 paintings of an unknown artist for 2 mil dollars. Millionaire 2 purchases another 2 for 10 million. Now millionaire 1 donates his paintings to a museum and gets a tax write off for 10 mil since the artist is now known and his work rises in value. Now millionaire 2 gives his paintings to the museum since there are only 2 owned by a private collection (him) and their value is now doubled. This is why some paintings get sold for this much. The guys that buy them use them to launder money, get tax write offs and keep them as long term investments.

Frank Prank no. Just no. You’ve never tried to paint a portrait have you?

@@frankprank5788 Didn´t know splashing a bit of red paint takes years to learn. It´s just money laundering.

@@frankprank5788 No. ❤ You're just another pretentious poser pretending that unskilled waste of materials by a so-called contemporary ✨artist✨ means something more than a baby's scribbles. Realism isn't the end-all of art, and straight up drafting someone's image isn't creative, but at least it takes skill, unlike those unskilled and uncreative canvases that aren't even worth putting on the living room floor.

Had truffles in gnocchi once, but it's been so long I really can't remember the taste. I know porcini mushrooms taste like porkchops & they are also ridiculously expensive.

Not sure why they're on a list of "most expensive." Must be a very specific type of oyster? They're probably one of the cheaper items on any seafood menu where I live. You can just drive a few hours to the coast & pass a dozen oyster shacks.

@@LikaLaruku maybe its way more expensive compared to clams?

I love your brushes. Over the last 25 years I have spent thousands of dollars on Series 7 brushes. I even had an entire Millennial set with silver ferrules. I used them all too. Size 14 was the largest. All worth every penny. Size 7 is a perfect size.

Just by going in the region and buying from the producer, you can get amazing champagne bottles for like 20/30€. Much better than Dom Perignon and other brand like that.

The picture is definitely all wrong. A vintage bottle of champagne can cost over 1000 dollars, but Armand de Brignac is not vintage and also doesn't cost 1000 dollars. It is not even the most expensive non-vintage champagne any more as CMIII is nowadays much more expensive (and is sold for about 500 dollars). You can get a bottle of Armand do Brignag for 350 dollars easily.

Actually it was mentioned at the very end. Apparently one time Armand de Brignac has cost 1000 dollars, but that was only a few bottles. Those bottles prices were artificially inflated instead of sold normally. A bottle of Krug vintage champagne would have been a much better example as those sell constantly for over 1000 dollars a bottle.

They didn’t explain it to well, but basically it’s all subjective and it’s not even about the art itself but the story of the artist making it

@@scp-0173 doesnt everyone have a story though? What makes their story special? In my opinion, what makes art special is when you can convey those emotions through the art itself. Its great if art makes the creator feel some type of way, but that is literally true for everyone. Whats special is if you can put your emotions into art, and other people can look at that art and feel the emotions that you felt. I feel like the vast majority of people feel nothing from looking at "modern art".

@@perperperpen basically what I’m trying to say is that it’s not about the art it’s about what the artist was experiencing at that time and how they made it

@@scp-0173 ok i understand that and i would still have the same response to you.

@@perperperpen well put. Craft, beauty or emotion or all 3 define good art to me.

Idk, oysters are simple creatures with no eyes, they feed by filtering water so if the water they are in gives them the nutrients they need they wouldn't be motivated to move around. Probably don't notice they're in a cage.

Living in a box. Poor animals. We also live in a box.

@@toastercatx Oysters move in the ocean. Humans can never mimic exactly all different things oysters pick out to eat in the lifeform they need and want. Humans think...ohhh, i put a little of this and that in the tank, and everything will be ok. But no, it is not. They survive, yes...but being themselve healthy and thriving? And we also all know by know, companies will do the absolut minimum to provide in their nutritional needs, because they want maximum profits, with minimum investment and costs. And what kind of things they put in the tanks? We consumers will never know. We humans are just horrible to be honest and instead they should hunt them in the ocean, so they are free, until the day they are not, being preyed on. They want it the easest way. Also, diseases florish in animals kept in boxes and being narrowly 'farmed' so they add also antibiotics and other stuff in animals tanks. The same with other farm tanks of fish. And of course, lets not talk about other 'farmed animals' Horrible. They farm animals to death. In a way...that is not even nutritious for the one who eats it. You eat expensive fluff and you think you ate something to feed your body for health and nutrition. No wonder most people have so much nutrient deficiencies and do not even realize it and get all kind of health issues. Together with the chemicals, toxins and degrading treatments. Even the so called 'tests' to test deficiencies are fluff too. Because of many reasons this tests are just BS. This al makes me extremaly sad and hopeless. Poor animals. Poor people too.

Hello my fellow Malaysian. 🙋‍♂️

You're absolutely correct. A wealthy guy can commission an "artist" to spill some paint on a canvas, and then bid the value up to a couple million at an auction. Then, said millionaire donates the artpiece (now worth a couple million) to a museum for a massive tax break.

It's more of a general agreement than a theory. Wealthy people bid "art" up to insane prices and then donates them to museums for massive tax breaks. Then, the receiver of the money (who happens to be a close friend) returns said money.

It's money laundering to the rich and "art" to the stupid and gullible.

Sometimes i think modern art is just april mop from artist and currator to rich people... hahhaaha

It really isn't. A lot of Instagram artists have such bad skill it makes me cringe yet people consider it art. People think some of that crap is beautiful and have millions of likes and gather millions of following. It's the same concept with these. Some of these artists can paint better than anyone and sometimes it represent their life's work condensed. Then there are some modern artist just sit there paint streaks and cant draw a pot for the life of them. It's really naive to say all of them are bad. I painted my profile picture sophomore year of high school, it's not modern art but thats how we all start.

Spoken like someone who doesnt know about art, art is about expression and exploration not skill

@@TheKilmore5 it takes skill to properly express what you mean. Splattering paint on a wall with no coherent form is not expressing anything but your own incompetence. That's not art, that's utter disregard for art.

It should not be a requirement to do traditional art. The whole point of modern art is a rejection of societies standards of what art is. Art is subjective, there is no real value to it, the value of art is perceived.

Also “traditional” isn’t a period or style

Your points really resonates to me coz the way the so called contemporary/abstracts artists were even applying the paint (trying to manipulate the brush or trying out random colors, shapes n BS!) n looking like they were juz working-out a frustration really looks like they were hoping the results might bring them big bucks by chance! How the modern art market works n functions in this day is beyond me! I feel it really is a daylight robbery to other true talent based artform especially in terms of price point! I guess man is always the biggest fool in this regard! Ps.I understand the original contemporary artists who evolved over time, whose arts sells at a high price after all this time, but noone could convince me that the so-called new-age artists who are trying hard are only here to try n find their luck in a medium they really are not worthy of but juz to find their possible big buck! It's a no brainer! Not a talent juz a laat stop shop for some greedy so-called artists to make a quick big buck!

Ikr I pictured them in their own corner office working away, making exclusive sable brushes. That had a sweatshop-esque vibe to it.

I guess it's personal preference if you would like to work alone isolated from others, I got the impression that there would be a lot of chatting going on when the cameras weren't rolling. The working environment was clean, tidy and well maintained, the workers all had ample space not cramped so I'm struggling to find anything bleak in that picture.
