Let's be real... he's exhibiting this in an art museum in NYC. And he's still working as a TV and film composer.

Also the whole idea of taking one of the finest, rarest specimens of something the universe produces naturally and making it ugly for the sake of these billionaires seems incredibly dumb.

You suggest the real reason for doing it. So a billionaire can own it and say "see, I'm not one of the bad billionaires, because I'm in on the joke."
