Miles And More Credit Card, the museum vaunted mostly traditional andcontemporary chinese works, but now the couple's trying to turn their private museum into afull-blown tourist destination. “the message to the west is clear: we havebought their buildings, we have bought their companies, and now we are going to buy theirart.â€
in addition to sticking it to the west, there'sanother benefit for liu's family, as his wife says the couple will pay for the piece withan american express card—a one year payment plan to be specific—, which allows the cardholderto accrue an enormous number of points and airline miles, || so the family can continueto jet set from auction to auction for free. this isn't the first time liu's made waveswith an outrageous power move, either. last year, he dropped a cool 36 mil || on a smallporcelain cup from the ming dynasty and made a bunch of people mad || when he was photographedcasually sipping tea out of his outrageously expensive mug. according to forbes, liu's assets in 2015were estimated at $1.22 billion. that's the
