Something that looks like a silver inflatable rabbit to many just set a record.

How? By selling big!

Rabbit by artist Jeff Koons sold at auction for the highest amount ever for a living artist's work.

How much?

$91 million!

Take a look at Rabbit yourself.

To say art lovers and the general public are divided on the record setting price tag for Rabbit is an understatement.





And the statue's buyer set off even more debate.

Embattled US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's father, Bob, is now the proud owner.








Art is beautiful and inspiring, and it can pull people out of some dark places, but perhaps the millions spent on Rabbit could've gone to a better cause.
