How to make a billion

Make some art

For an easy way to make a billion dollars in your spare time, make some art!

Since the days of the cavepainting, making art has been a tried and tested way of getting money and chicks. Whether you’re painting landscapes, drawing on sidewalks or skinning sharks, you’re guaranteed a long and happy life as an artist unless you become a painter, because then you’ll probably live a miserable life and won’t make a billion dollars until after you die. The hilarious irony of this is that paintings are among the most valuable works of art in the world. The Mona Lisa, for example, is valued at an estimated $500,000,000 dollars. Why this is, however, remains a mystery because it’s obvious that she’s remarkably ugly. So it’s with that in mind that I humbly propose a prettier alternative to the world’s greatest work of art, which I’ve entitled New Mona Lisa.

I didn’t take the photo or even come up with the quote. But I did MS Paint them together, so I’ll take whatever I’m legally entitled to. I suspect we may fall foul of counterfeiters (those rogues!), which will dent the overall value of the piece, but I think I should do pretty well out of this one.

Valuation: A quarter of a million, billion, trillion dollars. WoW!
