Nude French President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife costs $91,000

Before Carla Bruni was French President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife, she was singer and model who basically just modeled her tits. At an auction yesterday, a Chinese art collector bought one of her topless photos from 1993. The Sun says:


A nude photo of French first lady Carla Bruni has smashed its auction estimate and sold for more than £45,000 in New York. The image of President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife was taken by photographer Michel Comte 15 years ago and shows a younger, nude Ms Bruni facing the camera with her hands crossed at her waist. A buyer for a Chinese art collector yesterday bought the black-and-white 1993 photo for $91,000 - more than 22 times its estimate of $1,500 to $2,000, auction house Christies said."


This is the picture (NSFW). Uh, ok. I hate to ruin this guy's fun, but unless he plans on cutting hole in this picture and putting it on top of the real Carla Bruni, I'm gonna assume that he might not be the best at comparative shopping.
