I can see why he'd want to sell it
having collected many things over the years, if your collection becomes "complete" it's not as interesting. Most of the fun is in searching out the missing bits.
Also, acquiring the whole lot in one go wouldn't satisfy me for long, I'd get it, look at it and thing "great. What next?"

did you see the documentary about him,
there's a bit he goes into an antique shop that sells stuff in 5/6 digit price range and he just goes round pointing at things going "I'll take that... and that... umm, yeah that as well," and he seems totally bored.

I saw that - I believe it was the Martin Bashir interview
I distinctly remember the sales guy in the shop, who followed Michael eagerly, rubbing his hands together all the time. I'm pretty sure they weren't actually antiques but ultra-expensive reproductions, not that it really matters. He (Michael) asked Martin at one point if he liked some giant, gaudy vase - Bashir tactfully avoided saying it was a tacky piece of shit. Michael bought it, for something like $20,000 along with tons of equally vile baubles.
In the same program Martin bluntly asked Michael how much money he had, to which Michael admitted it was at least a billion dollars.

he probably didn't even know,
I guess it becomes kind of academic at that point.
