da Vinci painting sells for $450M at auction
This is a crazy price. Almost half a billion for one painting but that's not the wildest part of this story. Check out the sales history from $10K 12 years ago through a couple of hands including Sotheby's and a law suit!!

Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.

Stopped bidding as soon as I was told it probably isn't a da Vinci.

Do you think anyone will pay more for it or is it something that in 5 years will sell for less?
