    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.
