Summary

The host showcases several expensive artworks, including a yellow and blue painting by Mark Rothko that sold for $46.5 million, and questions their worth. They then explore eBay listings of artworks with high price tags, including a tracing of Mufasa for $7,000 and a "masterpiece" for $1,600.
