The rich will do anything but pay taxes

Were these not part of the Smithsonian collection and not for sale?? Why must people own cultural artifacts that mean so much to so many??

there are at least 4 different pairs, one of them is in the smithsonian, the pair that was just sold was recently recovered after being stolen years ago

Tysm for this info!!

I think there are famously multiple pairs.

Why do I feel like these fucking shoes are getting sold every other week

cielxen.bsky.social•160 days ago

Imagine a shoe selling for more than most mansions. That's insane!

Utterly pathetic.

I swear this has been reported before years ago

this is the reason i get it when people don’t understand inflation and say “why can’t we just print more money”. numbers we’re exposed to like this are incomprehensible

arin8887.bsky.social•160 days ago

have you never heard of the rich collecting things and wanting to tax the rich orrrrrrr

yappaholic.bsky.social•160 days ago

yeah ofc tax ‘em. no one should be buying 60 year old shoes for 28 million. vintage ain’t that cool

arin8887.bsky.social•160 days ago

while i absolutely agree, i think the first major color movie’s costumes would sell as much as a Da Vinci or whatever to rich people, it’s deplorable but expected

Kim better not have

pirigirl.bsky.social•160 days ago

famous? never heard of them

tiffanyandmor.bsky.social•160 days ago

Bruh why are all our film relics getting sold off?

arin8887.bsky.social•160 days ago

there are multiple different pairs from multiple of the same costume in case of rips/spills/etc. i’m pretty sure the main pair is in a museum, i’m pretty sure another pair is here in minnesota because the actress is from here, one pair was stolen, i think there may be two more pairs floating around.
