1. Salvator Mundi
Salvator Mundi sold for over $450 million, becoming the most expensive painting ever. Purchased anonymously for a Saudi prince, it is now owned by Saudi Arabia’s culture ministry.
While famous for its price, experts question whether Leonardo da Vinci painted the entire work, with some parts possibly added later. This mix of high value and mystery makes Salvator Mundi a fascinating story in the art world.
