Val Kilmer Is Selling A Tumbleweed Dipped In 22k Gold For $150,000
TMZ- Val Kilmer’s turning tumbleweed into gold, and a small fortune … TMZ has learned. Val is selling an actual tumbleweed he bronzed and dipped in 22k gold … for a cool $150,000. Luxury boutique Just One Eye got the piece Tuesday in L.A. We’re told the piece — aptly titled “Tumbleweed” — symbolizes Val’s childhood growing up in New Mexico. His granddaddy was a gold miner, so the art’s got family roots. Plus, “Tombstone” … ’cause that movie’s awesome. Good news for interested buyers, it comes with a Val signature.
Jesus Val. What a fucking weird thing to have. What a fucking weird thing to have and then sell. But you know what? It’s kinda dope. I usually hate on every piece of ridiculous “art” but I don’t hate that golden tumbleweed one bit. I mean I wouldn’t spend $150,000 on it but I might spend $150 on it. It’s got a certain draw to it. A certain elegance. And I guarantee some rich person is gonna swoop it up for 150k no questions asked. Why would somebody buy a tumbleweed dipped in golf, you ask? Why wouldn’t somebody buy a tumbleweed dipped in gold in the real question you should be asking. Bored rich people will buy just about anything. They won’t know they need a golden tumbleweed until a golden tumbleweed goes on sale for 6 figures then they must have it. If Val were smart he’d be going out to get more tumbleweeds to dip in gold. Those things are gonna be hot in the streets.
