Too Long; Didn't Read

<span>L</span>eonardo da Vinci’s painting “Salvator Mundi” was recently sold for a staggering 450 million US dollars. It’s the most expensive painting ever sold. The painting depicts some 15th century goth-metal bass player called Chris. Even art critics find it kind of ugly. Despite this it’s worth more than most small villages in Italy are. Why? Because it’s scarce. Leo da Vinci was a remarkable man. He made a career as a an artist, an inventor, a scientist, an architect, an anatomist and a closet vegetarian. Today, there’s only about 25 paintings left that have been verified as authentic da Vinci originals and this makes them extraordinarily valuable. Just imagine an auction for the Mona Lisa.
