A few years ago, I read about a top-secret indoor tennis club in New York that had been going for over a hundred years, but no one knew much about it. The richest, most powerful people in the world went there, basically to do whatever they wanted. Some members once rolled a priceless sculpture onto the runway at JFK as a prank. Why you would do that if you could do anything in the world, I have no idea. Mayor Bloomberg was a member, but quit before he ran for office. The whole thing was a little too Caligula/ Louis the 14th for the proletariat's taste. Moral of the story: Rich people can do whatever they please. This acrylic painting is based on a photo of a member from the article.
