Last time the Mona Lisa was appraised for insurance reasons it was valued at a cool 100.000.000 dollars, but that was way back in 1962 so inflation brings it yo something like 750.000.000. According to a commercial I saw at like three in the morning you can support a starving child in africa for only one dollar a day, which means you could keep a little over 100.000 children alive from birth until 18 for the price of a mona lisa.
