Who Paid How Much For Popeye?

If you had $28 million just lying about, would you spend it on Popeye? Steve Wynn, the mega rich guy that owns the casino's in Las Vegas. Yep. He is the one who bought it at auction. The statue was created by artist Jeff Koons, in fact, he has done a series of three Popeye statues, one of which sold for $58 million last year. Maybe Steve Wynn is looking at this as an investment? Maybe he was just buying it to prove to the world that he has "all that money". Next time you are in Vegas, stop by the Wynn casinos to see it. Still, $28 million can buy a lot of spinach.
