Ironically It is actually a Prince from Abu Dhabi who bought it . Gates ,lost, Chinese billionaires lost, Russian billionaires lost and even the funniest part, the Vatican lost to a Muslim country for a painting of the Christ sold by a Jewish Broker , which is something i find utterly hilarious ! And his fortune The Prince's is estimated to 41 trillion dollars so 450 million is far from making his wallet lighter .
Morgan Olfursson lol it's not a big deal to the fucking vatican. they have roofs painted by da vinci. they sell one of his paintings and it is capable of crashing the economy.
It's scary that one family, with the heads being MBS and King Salman own more wealth than entire countries. Hopefully that money is used to do good with Vision 2030.
I am shocked they don't know this? it's all over the internet. The name of the buyer of the painting "Salvator Mundi" by Leonardo da Vinci is a prince from Saudi Arabia, Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud, a Saudi royal associated with the crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman. The Wall Street Journal reported that the crown prince was the "ultimate customer" for the painting and that prince Bader acted as his proxy.
The orb things really interesting. The great Leonardo surely wouldn’t make this mistake. He was all about precision in his works and studied optics and absolutely understood how light works. Would love to see this painting one day.
For $450 million, Mohammed bin Salman can buy eight years of Israeli/Pegasus spy software to help cut the fingers off and murder every domestic and international critic he’s ever had ... and that would be a great bargain for Netanyahu and Likud, to have a partner like that in a Palestinian peace plan.
The painting clearly looks like the work of Leonardo's student, and young lover, Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno, better known as Salaì. Anyone who knows Salai's work, can immediately see his hand here!
No one knows if the two really had a relationship. The „evidence“ is mainly based on writings published decades after Leonardo himself had passed away, as had Salaì, and while Leonardo was accused of sodomy in his lifetime, twice actually, he appeared to not have been all that interested in worlds affairs of the flesh, although it should be noted that warning of lust may not be the same as abstinence or chastity. Overall, while there is certainly a possibility, ultimately we have no conclusive proof although such a revelation may be quite amusing, given the current owner of the work of art which prompted our little debate. On a similar note: the Prussian monarch Frederick II, known as the great, has a similar minor controversy attached to his name, the issue being that likewise, nothing of certainty has appeared to fully establish such a claim.
There's no way it's a fake unless there was some phantom artist as good as or better than Da Vinci going round at the same time and somehow remained unknown.
The da vinci code next movie, something is on the back of Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi! Oh my god! It's a treasure map! And the correction of the thumb wasn't just a correction, the x-ray shows the treasure's coordinates if you decrypt it!

That would teach a VALUABLE lesson to the art business .
@@TheAlchemicalPortal No Miaster Destruction , not only the Roths, this is an urban myth . The royal families of the middle East are rich beyond beliefs .Their assets are extremely private though and you won&t find it by googling their net worth . First of all because everything is under different names , using screen companies and other in between , Plus they do not need to place their money in Switzerland , because unlike the Roths, the Middle Eastern Royal family DO own their country and do not need anybody's permission to do whatever they chose . Trust me the 41 trillion is real . And also don't underestimate the Chinese . You would be very surprised to learn about the assets and fortune of the president of China . Trust me here too, communism is long gone there , the only communist thing about china is the flag . Not a country has more billionaire than China . The Roths are filthy rich, no doubt about that and powerful , but not as rich as they once were .
@@morganolfursson2560 however the middle east royal family consist of hundreds of relatives and then wifes/husbands , so the money don't belong to just 1-10 people but a lot of them
Excuse me , my English is not so good. But maybe you can help me. In the auction they sold the picture for 400 Million Dollars. As seen on the screen. Why does everybody says that the picture is sold at 450 Million Dollars. Please explain it to me. Thank you!!
I can only hope that in you quiet moments you can stop talking about the purchase , and Leo ,and really take a look to the uniqueness and pricelessness of this peace! I
Leonardo just bloody drew this in a drunk afternoon not recognizing the failures he probably made and lost it in his cellar or some and now humanity spends so much paper to just own it😅
Mr. Destruction well it’s not fake. It just might not have been done by da Vinci. Shit it being done by someone else out of his studio may even make it more valuable.
@@2299mikey no, that doesn't make it more valuable .. since the other person is not as famous as da vinci .. that makes it worthless . plus , yes.. since it's being sold as a "da vinci" painting , and it's not.. it is then fake
Mr. Destruction no it would actually make it more valuable. It’d still be one of the most talked about and famous paintings in the world. I don’t think you understand what makes art valuable these days
Like I said elsewhere, I think it could be madonna cause once seen an interview where this star said he went to her house and she said do you wanna see my art collection like real matter of fact and she led him to a secret doorway and he said he couldnt believe how she had all the masters and some were just stood up against a wall! He said she had devincis and picassos, constables etc etc and he was taken aback just how flippant she was having millions and millions worth!
This is not a painting of Da Vinci. It is a good painting of an apprentice of Da Vinci, which is transformed by an artrestorator in a typical Da Vinci (well done, but still fake)
[2060 Antique Road Show] So what have you brought me today OH! MY! GOD! Daughter: Jesus, my dad said its Jesus, not God. Road Show: Young lady do you know who painted this? Daughter: I remember my dad telling me, I think a Ninja Turtle so it has to be worth a lot.
I am constantly teasing my girlfriend that she is a dumb blonde which makes her very angry So one day she said Ask me ANY question and i will answer it I said Who painted The Mona Lisa? She said Leonardo I was impressed Then she said Leonardo Dicaprio....
And hes like. Who bought it a saudi prince or chinese billionaire. Why are you naming steriotypical rich people. Im sure even africa has 1 billionaire. What a rasict cunt news station
This painting look a lot like Mona Lisa.. The same eyes nose flat hair and mouth looks the same. Painting more Faded. Maybe different kind of painting used.
