Surely high value objects only appreciate, like in the art world "business".

buy it today for 10m, lend it out, do the social thing sell it on in a year or two for 11-12mill.

It's almost certainly a good investment. Yogi Berra said real estate was the best investment "cause they ain't making any more of it". Same principle applies to Strads.

The people that buy these (the über wealthy) aren't just anyone. They live lives most of us can't comprehend.

The difference between a millionaire vs a billionaire -

A million seconds is 12 days.

A billion seconds is 31.7 YEARS.

Translate that to dollars. Buying a $10,000,000 violin is a drop in the bucket to a billionaire.
