This Guy Spent $15,000 On A Louis Vuitton Trunk To Burn It

Burn Baby, Burn!

There are easier ways to burn through your money (*pauses for laughter*) but this one is pretty different. Professional photographer Tyler Shields purchased a rare Louis Vuitton Trunk with the sole purpose of lighting it on fire!

Is It Art?

Tyler Shields is an extremely talented photographer, but has an unusual niche; burning valuable stuff. He’s working on putting together a book of photography and has had a desire to do something exceptional for awhile. He tracked down an exceptionally rare designer trunk and shelled out $15,000 for it. Then with cameras rolling he torched the thing. The camera was rolling throughout to capture the mayhem (skip to the 1:30 mark to see this beautiful, old, trunk light up in a blaze of fire).

Penchant For Pyro

This isn’t the first elaborate destruction of expensive property Tyler has documented. He snapped some pics of a $100,000 Birkin Bag belonging to Francesca Eastwood (Clint Eastwood’s daughter) as it was destroyed. He also blew up a $50,000 Rolls Royce.

If It Was YOUR Money

It’s Tyler Shields money, so he can spend it how he likes. But let’s say YOU were given $15,000. What would you do with it?
