There is the chance too that the high bidder is an investor, and not necessarily a fan. That's certainly the way Warren Hill promoted this and it's going to pay a big dividend. He held on to it for years and got some free PR behind it before he took it to auction...during the holiday shopping season, no less.
If this is the case, then the buyer is obviously counting on reselling it years later for even more. I don't think this is a wise investment at all. I can't see it actually increasing any more in value for a long, long, long...long time. They'd be better off buying some fine art. But maybe higher-end fine art is out of the buyer's price range.
