Be careful sharing the image of this pricey potato, since it’s now worth more than $1 million. According to British newspaper The Independent, an unnamed European businessman has purchased this photo of a potato on a black background for 1 million euros ($1,086,950).
The picture, photographed in 2010, is part of a collection of images by celebrated Irish photographer and visual artist Kevin Abosch whose portfolio of shots include famed Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg, Michael Palin (an English comedian, no relation to Sarah Palin), Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai.
The newspaper also reported that the 46-year-old visual artist’s portraits are typically commissioned for at least 200,000 British pounds ($288,290).
