"Oh shit, look what I've done..."

After selling it for a reportedy record price, $139 million, Steve Wynn has "put his elbow through" Picasso's 'Le Reve'.
Apparently his comment was "Oh shit, look what I've done." Perhaps a bit of an understaement? But I suppose he can afford it, having bought it for about $50 miilion.
Comparatively, it's like me losing a few hundred bucks...
