That's got literally nothing to do with anything.

First of all, art prices aren't comparable between artists.

Second, art prices are nonsense and have nothing to do with quality.

Third, if it was possible to get to Joe Biden with just money, his and Hunter Bidens and his whole families net worth would be a lot more than what it is. This is a guy who's been a prominent figure in US politics for ages, he's had a lifetime of chances to cash in on that already.
