Some argued that the card is proof of the extravagance of Dimon's home, while others said that the family appeared fairly normal.
They forgot to mention that is a Jackson Pollock painting in the back ground. That painting that he is tossing tennis balls around is probably worth more than 99.7% of all homes in the U.S.business.time.com
While no fan of the financial laws that propel CEOs into such great wealth relative to the average citizen, I think picking apart his X-Mas card is a little silly. I don't know how much those paintings cost, but beyond that I see a family in jeans that have created an artsy set of photos.business.time.com
This panorama-style comparison contrasts the Dimon Christmas card and the
Kardashians '.
