You’re probably thinking, “Where did the million come from?” It technically belongs to Schipper. Skilled at fabrication techniques, the artist realized he had the tools and materials to create extremely effective iPhone cases (Swenson and Amrhein swear by them), so he started a side business. The million is borrowed from that side business for the duration of the performance.

Million Dollar Walk was initially only planned to take place yesterday, but given the artist’s travel predicaments it was extended to take place for a second day—running through Friday, with Schipper (hopefully) present. It turns out the snowstorm was a blessing in disguise: now even more individuals will be able to experience what it’s like to be a millionaire.
