TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The man who won an auction to buy a plate from Andre Agassi and see a naked picture of the tennis great's wife said Tuesday he is not 100 percent sure the nude back in the photo belonged to Steffi Graf.
Agassi took part in the auction while he was in Taiwan earlier this month for an exhibition tennis match. Standing on stage holding up the plate, Agassi said: "You pay more than $4,000, and I will show you a picture of my wife -- on my phone -- naked." Franz Chen, CEO of Taiwanese porcelain manufacturer Franz Collection Inc., says he won the auction and that in exchange for the equivalent of $7,000 Agassi showed him a photo of the naked back of a blonde-haired woman.
First off, I'll believe it was her in the photo. If you're bold enough as a public figure to make that offer then you have to follow through, after all, as Andre always said in his commercials, "Image is Everything."
Now to the important question, why throw in the plate? Did thing thing add any value or was it one of the standard run of the mill Crate and Barrel Plates? Nice plates? Sure, but I'm guessing this guy didn't drop seven grand for a nice piece of ceramics. Why not save the plate so you and your exhibitionist wife still have a full set when you're entertaining guests
PS: I feel like if you just mention the word nude to a foreign asian business man he'll automatically start giggling childishly while emptying the contents of his wallet. The guys are like sexually repressed teenagers.
