Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet.
Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.
An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY.
Meanwhile, Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slok said to expect ‘zero in return in the S&P 500 over the coming decade.’
Each environment is unique, but after dot-com, post war and contemporary art grew about 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, about 11% for 12 years.
It’s also had near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 since ‘95.*

Kernersville’s storied American Legion baseball program is making a comeback
A piece of Kernersville’s sports history is being dusted off. American Legion Post 36 junior-team manager Chad Delp and three coaches are working to bring the program back to prominence, forming a Post 36 junior team this summer.
Post 36 baseball was once a Kernersville institution. The senior team was a perennial contender at the local and state level, won state titles in 1988, 1992 and 2010, claimed multiple Area III titles, and even went all the way to the American Legion World Series in 2010.
The new junior team is the first step toward rebuilding that tradition and giving local players a place to compete close to home this summer.
