The coastal elites hate Americana. We know what they really think, and we know why they are so quickly defending Obama’s snobbery. They might think they are “too good” for the Cheesecake Factory, or find the decor to be tacky, but most regular Americans don’t

After nearly a century in private hands, this Alberto Giacometti plaster sculpture made its auction debut at #SothebysParis. It sparked a lively bidding battle and went on to achieve €8.6 million in the Modernités auction, presented in partnership with @celineofficial. In ‘Tête crâne,’ Giacometti reinvents the image of the skull, replacing the natural curves of the face with a succession of planes and angles. This version from 1934 was acquired directly from the artist in 1935 and has remained in the same family ever since. Today’s sale in Paris marked the first time any cast of ‘Tête crâne’ appeared at auction. If you’re looking to consign with Sotheby’s, tap: bit.ly/3UjLw3g

Matchmaker on my team spoke with a newly single woman who said she broke up with her ex of 6 years over a "hygiene problem." Apparently the matchmaker was so locked in pitching our client that she failed to ask the woman to elaborate, and I'm losing my f*ing mind... What kind of hygiene problem suddenly starts after 6 years together? Did he stop showering or wiping his butt? Why couldn't he fix the problem? I will get to the bottom of this and report back 😭

A new record was just set at #SothebysParis: Monet's exceptional 'Iris' painting is now the most valuable artwork ever sold at auction in France. After a thrilling, 45-minute bidding battle, this landscape from Monet's Giverny period achieved €50 million. It was the star lot of Le Temps Retrouvé: The Schlumberger Collection, a group of 20 modern and impressionist masterpieces. The Paris Sales continue tomorrow with Surrealism and Its Legacy and Modernités. Learn more at Sothebys.com.

A16Z DROPS "CRYPTO" FROM FUND NAME, REBRANDS TO "A16Z FRONTIER": THE INFORMATION

NEVER buy a house with your boyfriend I know a girl who bought a $400,000 house with her boyfriend of 5 years 9 months later, she caught him cheating with her friend He packed his stuff, moved out, and stopped paying his half of their $2,800 mortgage Now she's covering the entire payment herself on a salary that couldn't even qualify for the house in the first place She wants to sell it, but there's one problem His name is still on the deed, and he won't cooperate Now, her credit has tanked because she fell behind on payments And she's running out of options If she keeps missing payments, the bank can foreclose and she could lose the money she put into the house If she wants to keep it, she'd need to qualify for a mortgage on her own and work out his ownership interest And if she wants to sell, she may have to hire a lawyer to force a sale through the courts Here's what she should have done before buying it: If you're purchasing a house with someone you're not married to, have a real estate attorney draw up a co-ownership agreement BEFORE closing It should explain what happens if either person wants out If you break up, one person gets a set amount of time to buy the other out If they can't qualify for the mortgage or afford the buyout, the house goes up for sale You agree beforehand on how the property will be valued, how the proceeds get divided, and who's responsible for the mortgage while it's being sold And make sure there's a process for handling it if one person refuses to cooperate That agreement won't remove either person's responsibility to the bank, but it can give you a way to resolve the ownership dispute without figuring everything out in the middle of a breakup Because you might trust your boyfriend with your life right now But I would NEVER trust a relationship to last longer than a 30-year mortgage without having an exit plan.
