Most expensive piece of furniture in history!

Who on earth needs to spend fifteen million US dollars on a cabinet? I appreciate design and heritage as much as anybody but, seriously, when you spend that kind of money on furniture, surely you deserve a visitation or something to put you back on track? There are children dying of abuse, malnutrition, exposure, illness and war in this world and people are hoping to top this price at the next auction. That's just sick.
