Charity auctions are a nice way for rich people to assuage their consciences and reduce their taxes. If someone could donate that much for a POS cheesy painting, they could straight up donate more directly.

Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
