To be fair, you're not paying 100 million to just OWN a painting. You're paying that much money to own something created by a person of historic and cultural importance.
This isn't far from the mentality that allows for stuff like autographs to go for such absurd amounts. I once saw (with my own eyes!) a sweater worn by Seth Green sell for $3,000. The fact that having been touched by somebody in some way increases the value of an object by a multitude of thousands will forever be baffling to me.
Anyway, no, I can't imagine ever paying that much for anything, even if I had the income to back it up.
An autograph/personal object from a historic person really isn't comparable to something they actually made through creative effort.
