Leonardo da Vinci's 'Salvator Mundi' | 2017 World Auction Record | Christie's
The breathtaking $450 million (including buyer's premium) sale of Salvator Mundi generates headlines across the world, garlanding a superb week of sales in which nine works realise more than $10 million, a further eight surpass $20 million, and three works fetch over $50 million.
An historic season at Christie’s in New York finished on Thursday, with the final total across seven sales hitting $1,421,993,000 / £1,082,817,271. The highlight was the extraordinary 19-minute bidding battle for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi in Wednesday’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale, culminating in the work being sold for a world-auction record price of $450,312,500 (including buyer’s premium).
The depth and quality of art offered across the week was remarkable, with nine works realising more than $10 million, a further eight being acquired for in excess of $20 million, and three achieving more than $50 million.

This just shows how crazy the wealth disparity is in the world. Being a multi-millionaire already gives you a life of super luxury. But this auction is not just amongst billionaires, but multi-billionaires. And even multi-billionaires still couldn’t compete with the wealth of a Saudi Arabian Prince. It’s absolutely insane
There are to groups of people. The we have it's, and the we don't have it's........ After that is the rich, the middle, and then the rest of us..........

Oh my God, I am so happy to hear this here, I got introduced to Mr. Alberto some two weeks ago, it still feels like a dream, so far I have made over $7,000 trading with him, at this rate I am sure I am on my way to becoming a millionaire.
I will only accept your apology under the condition that you will introduce me to him and I too will start making profit

I saw this painting up close and personal in SF on preview. No plexigass barrier, the painting was 8 feet from me and it was thrilling. It made me cry. They also previewed all the modern art that would be auctioned on the same day. It was an experience of a lifetime.
