A Russian billionaire who accused Sotheby's of teaming up with a Swiss art dealer to cheat him of tens of millions of dollars became tearful while testifying in court and calling for more transparency in the art market
Only four are at issue in the trial, including Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi, ” Latin for “Savior of the World,” which Rybolovlev’s lawyers say Bouvier bought from Sotheby’s for $83 million, only to resell to Rybolovlev a day later for over $127 million. In 2017, Rybolovlev sold it through Christie’s for a historic $450 million as it became the most expensive painting ever sold at auction.
By my rough calculations, for this piece:
$450M - $127M = $323M profit for plaintiff = shut the fuck up
Seriously though. He made a huge profit and is suing a third party that had nothing to do with the private sale between he and his dealer because he realized dealer screwed him. Not sure why you were being down voted.

Simps crying for billionaires. Or they just hate basic math.
I hate billionaires AND basic math.
Me too 🤜🤛
To be fair, those $46 million will buy quite a few avocodo toasts and lattes
Sometimes life is truly unfair.
