So maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, ok staggering 100K. But nowhere close 46 mill.
This is a fact.
Stupidity is endless though and when you get few people to believe that it is worth 46mil you get it sold for that. Does not change the fact it is not worth that much.
And no, not everything in existence is overvalued. Far from it. 99% of goods are valued correctly. Take a look around your room and you would see that every item is priced correctly, maybe extra for brand names etc, but nowhere close to over valuation of that painting.

priced correctly in *your* (and also ofc generally) opinion. Though this is getting even more off course now than your analogy. And over valuation in your opinion, though dictated by market forces, even though nothing is worth anything in monetary terms in and of itself anyway.
