Salvator Mundi (Latin for 'Savior of the World') is a painting attributed in whole or part to the Italian High Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated c. 1499–1510 It became the most expensive painting ever sold at auction, fetching $450.3 million in 2017. The Salvator Mundi was bought at the 2017 Christie's auction by Saudi Prince Badr bin Abdullah Al Saud for $450.3 million. Reports indicate he acted on behalf of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. As of 2025, it's owned by MBS and in storage in Saudi Arabia, not publicly displayed. https://x.com/grok/status/1977417416901816610?t=IRdaQDoRG-xO3XooPyWxMw&s=19 Mynd44 Lalasticlala Nlfpmod 1 Like

I heard the Saudi prince was trying to impress the prince of Dubai and the Emir of Qatar. To show them that his money long pass their own. 1 Like |

CoronaVirusPro:Why does a crown Prince of Saudi need to launder money? Your comment is quite ignorant Those who know are those who should know, those who want to know Experts on money laundering If you know they know more $450 million single payments does not happen every day Very few banks in the world have such capacity to pay or receive No need making cryptic and meaningless remarks to boost your ego 6 Likes |

CoronaVirusPro:Like someone advised you, money laundering is not involved in this case as everyone knows the owner and where the owner got his money from. Anyway, MBS probably just wanted to ensure that no other Arab Royal family beat him to this one and it could also be a bit sentimental seeing his particular tribe was once Christian (some even say Jewish Christians). 1 Like |

The description of Jesus in ancient artifacts described him as a man with hair like wool, this portrait is nowhere near what he looked like, that picture looks like a female. 2 Likes |

CoronaVirusPro:Money laundering involves getting money from illicit or criminal activities and placing (or investing) them in legal/clean hustles so no one knows or suspects the original source was criminal. There is nothing clandestine here, MBS is practically the state, and bought the most expensive painting in the world in a public auction . No obfuscation. So again, accusing him of money laundering makes absolutely no sense in this situation. In a funny way, it's almost the opposite of money laundering sef. |

One thing I'm sure I'll never understand is why artworks cost this much money. I wonder how many homeless and hungry children in poor Muslim countries half a billion dollars would have fed. |
