The Most Expensive Alec Monopoly Paintings Don’t Play Games

Exactly how much do Alec Monopoly’s paintings sell for, and what makes them so unique? In this article, we’ll unpack the most expensive Alec Monopoly artworks ever sold.

Drawing his moniker from the iconic Monopoly board game, Alec Monopoly (born Alec Andon) employs its mascot, Rich Uncle Pennybags, to cast a satirical eye on the financial system and the luxury lifestyle. Recurring themes in his work include money, greed, and the dichotomy between rich and poor, utilizing symbols like money bags, the Monopoly man, and gold bars to provoke thought and conversation.

His rise to fame is evident by the soaring price tags of Alec Monopoly’s art. Among his most expensive paintings are pieces like “Mr Monopoly,” “Gold Bull,” and “Scrooge McDuck,” each fetching tens of thousands of dollars at auction. This further reflects his commentary on societal values and the very nature of art as a commodity in the modern world.

The 11 most expensive Alec Monopoly paintings

Every canvas below sold through Heritage Auctions’ Urban Art sales, and each price is the corrected auction figure. They run from least to most expensive, so the top of the list is where the surprises collect.

Monops Tony Montana

Monops Tony Montana nods to Scarface’s Tony Montana, and the acrylic-and-collage canvas carries the bright street-art color you would expect from that name. Painted in 2017, the 36 x 48-inch work came up in Heritage Auctions’ Urban Art Showcase Auction #16186 in June 2022.

It sold for $30,000, tying it with Slot Monopoly for the bottom of this ranking.

Slot Monopoly

Slot Monopoly merges Monopoly board-game imagery with a slot machine, playing chance and risk against the game’s childhood innocence. The early-2000s acrylic, spray paint and collage panel measures 48 x 36 x 1-1/2 inches.

It sold for $30,000 in Urban Art Showcase Auction #16172 on July 7, 2021. The slot-machine gag turns a family board game into something closer to a casino.

Monopoly

This 2012 canvas arrived at auction from the Guy Hepner Private Collection, acquired in 2019. At 54 x 88 inches, the acrylic, spray paint and resin work is one of the more substantial pieces on this list.

It sold for $32,500 in Heritage Auctions’ Urban Art Signature Auction #8119 on March 30, 2023, tying with Scrooge and DJ Monopoly.

Scrooge

Scrooge reads like a Donald-Duck-style Dickens miser, a piece about wealth versus contentment. The 2013 acrylic, spray paint and collage canvas measures 36 x 24 inches.

It sold for $32,500 in Urban Art Showcase Auction #16189 on September 7, 2022, one of three entries at that exact figure.

DJ Monopoly

The Monopoly man reimagined as a DJ puts wealth culture on the same deck as music culture. The 2011 acrylic, spray paint and collage canvas, 48 x 36 inches, sold for $32,500 in Urban Art Monthly Online Auction #16159 on October 7, 2020.

Among the three works at that price, it is the earliest sale, and in the corrected order it sits just below Scrooge McDuck.

Scrooge McDuck

Scrooge McDuck is the happiest thing on this list, a duck joyously kissing a stack of dollar bills. The 2013 acrylic and spray paint work is a large 60 x 60-inch square.

It sold for $36,250 in Urban Art Signature Auction #8025, from the Gone Far Beyond Collection in Dallas, on June 24, 2020, clearing the $32,500 trio by a few thousand dollars.

Wall Street Crucifix

Wall Street Crucifix sets a crucifix against a backdrop of stock-market numbers and financial newspapers, faith and finance on one canvas. The early-2000s collage on canvas sold for $45,000 in Urban Art Monthly Online Auction #16159 on October 7, 2020.

In the corrected order it sits directly below Love My Porsche.

Love My Porsche

Love My Porsche renders a Porsche in gold leaf and Alec Monopoly’s urban pop-art style. It is exactly as loud as it sounds. The 2022 acrylic, spray paint, gold leaf and collage canvas, 60 x 100 inches, sold for $47,500 in Urban Art Signature Auction #8119 on March 30, 2023.

Gold Bull

A bull is the standard symbol of a bull market, and here it is rendered in gold leaf. The 2015 acrylic, spray paint and gold leaf piece sold for $50,000 in Urban Art Monthly Online Auction #16155 on July 8, 2020.

That places it third among these eleven paintings, not second: Mr Monopoly outsold it.

Mr Monopoly

Mr Monopoly shows the game’s top-hatted man hopping along the board, the character in motion rather than posed. The early-2000s work, 30 x 40 inches, sold for $51,200 in Urban Art Monthly Online Auction #16155 on July 8, 2020, the figure HENI reports; the previous version of this article gave $51,250.

That places it second among these eleven paintings, behind Campbell’s Soup.

Campbell’s Soup

Campbell’s Soup is Alec Monopoly’s street-art take on Andy Warhol’s soup can, and it leads the list. The 2013 canvas, 48 x 36 inches, sold for $52,500 at the Urban Art Signature Auction on March 31, 2022. That is the highest price any of these eleven paintings has reached.

What is the most expensive Alec Monopoly artwork?

The most expensive Alec Monopoly artwork is not on canvas. It is the Skeleton Monopoly Bag, a Hermès Birkin he hand-painted in 2021, and it sold for $193,500 at Phillips in New York on May 21, 2026. That stands as his all-time auction record across any medium, resetting the previous mark of $51,200 set by Mr Monopoly in 2020.

The gap matters: a hand-painted accessory outsold every canvas in the ranking above several times over. For a closer look at where that ranks in the wider market, see our guides to the most expensive paintings, the most expensive Banksy artworks, and the most expensive Basquiat paintings.

Commercial art partnerships

Alec Monopoly’s auction prices draw on a career that keeps one foot in fine art and the other in brand work. Born Alec Andon on February 24, 1986, he repainted Khloe Kardashian’s Hermès Birkin in 2015.

The brand side is just as visible. Collaborations include TAG Heuer, Jacob & Co, and the MonopBugatti project with Bugatti. Those partnerships run alongside the auction lots above, so a Monopoly title can turn up on a canvas, a watch, and a car.
