How much of the price can be attributed to "Steve Jobs coveted after this lamp"?
Obviously celebrity endorsements is nothing new, but "coveting" seems new to me. Imagine if it's Trump, Musk or your favorite dickhead celebrity coveting after the object, would you say "eww" or would you pay more to say "I own something that dickhead covets."?

When your customer pool is 'people with $4m to spend on a lamp', the fact that a very wealthy person considered it valuable probably holds some sway.

I would think there is some >0 value, if only to find the coveting person and destroy the object in front of them.
People with 4MM lamp money have grand scope for their spitefulness :)
