What Waxman does love to do is write laws, and he has been extraordinarily good at it. The walls of his Washington office are covered with framed pens that Presidents from Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton used to sign the laws that Waxman helped make a reality: the Clean Air Act, generic-drug legislation, food- and toy-safety laws, and Medicare catastrophic coverage, to name a few.

It topped the previous record breaker--cosmetics magnate Ronald Lauder's purchase of Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I in June for $135 million.
