Billy the Kid Portrait Goes for 2.3 Million Dollars at Denver Auction

Who knew rebels were worth so much money? The only authenticated portrait of infamous outlaw Billy the Kid recently sold for 2.3 million dollars to a private collector. The photograph of this NY-born outlaw sold for six times its estimated worth. "He is widely thought to have killed 21 people, although some sources put the figure as high as 27. Billy the Kid was captured and sentenced to hang for the 1878 murder of a county sheriff. He then escaped, only to be hunted down and killed by Sheriff Patrick Floyd Garrett on 14 July 1881." [BBC]
