Brad Pitt spent $1 million on an oil painting. Brad was browsing the works in Basel, Switzerland and laid eyes on a $956,000 Neo Rauch oil painting, entitled Etappe. As several news sources report, Pitt was on the fence about the purchase but decided at the 11th hour to plop down the $956, 000.

According to The Wall Street Journal (via usmagazine.com):

Pitt eyed the painting for several minutes while rubbing his goatee and fidgeting with his tweed hat. He initially walked away. “He’s on the fence. Nothing wrong with that, I guess,” New York dealer David Zwirner said. But within minutes, Pitt returned with Los Angeles collectors Eli and Edythe Broad and made the big purchase.

Must be nice.
