A new world record was set on Thursday when a painting of Jesus Christ by Leonardo Da Vinci was sold at auction for an eye-watering $450 million (£304m) at Christie's in New York.
It also represented yet another extremely lucrative sale for Monaco owner Dmitry Rybolovlev, who added to his long list of summer windfalls -- Kylian Mbappe, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy, Bernando Silva -- by flogging Da Vinci to the highest bidder.
Decent year for Monaco owner Dmitry Rybolovlev. Sold Leonardo da Vinci painting at auction last night for £340m. Made £330m selling players in the summer
