Photo of potato sold for over $1 million

If you thought spending money on painted firewood logs was ridiculous, you are not going to be able to wrap your head around this; a man in Paris recently spent a whopping €1,000,000 (over $1 million) on a photograph of a potato, making it one of the top 20 most expensive photos ever sold.

To be fair, it was not any ordinary potato portrait; it was clicked by Kevin Abosch, the hottest photographer in the world right now, according to Business Insider.

 His claim to fame includes photographing major Silicon Valley bigwigs like Sheryl Sandberg, Eric Schmidt, and Jack Dorsey

The price turned out to be a non-negotiable €1,000,000, which the buyer immediately agreed to pay.

The photograph is Abosch’s largest sale of a single image to date, considerably higher than the regular $150,000 fee that he usually commands for celebrity photo shoots.
