In honor of this week’s feature story on former hand surgeon and all-around weird dude Michael Brown, and seeing as how it’s Friday, we thought we’d have some fun with a Price Is Right-style walk through the inventory of belongings in Brown’s 2005 bankruptcy filing. We must point out, though, that he emerged unscathed from his Chapter 11 filing, as his adjusted gross income in 2009 was $18 million.
Here are some of the items he listed — lovers of bronze and/or wildlife will be pleased. Can you guess each item’s value? Hint: Prices range from $10 to $1,500.
