The Art Collector

A successful lawyer representing a wealthy art collector called his client with a mix of news:

John, I have an interesting update for you, with a twist of good and a dash of bad.

The art collector, somewhat stressed, responded, “Given the day I’ve had, hit me with the good news first.

The lawyer chuckled and said, “Alright, I had a meeting with your wife today, and she shared that she invested $5,000 in two pictures. Her intuition suggests they could potentially fetch a staggering $15-20 million. Quite the savvy move, I must say.

John, genuinely pleased, exclaimed, “Fantastic! My wife knows how to make things happen. You’ve brightened my day. Lay on me the not-so-good news. I can handle it now. What’s the catch?

The lawyer hesitated for a moment and then disclosed, “Well, here’s the twist—the pictures feature you and your secretary.

Moral of the story:

In the art of life, what goes around sometimes comes around… with a hefty price tag!
