Muslim Prince Spends $450 Million On A Painting Of Jesus
Daily Caller, Dec 6, 2017, Robert Donachie

A Saudi Arabian prince is the mysterious buyer who paid a record-breaking $450.3 million for Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of Jesus Christ.

Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud was recently discovered to be the buyer of da Vinci’s painting “Salvator Mundi,” The New York Times reports.

Prince Badar’s purchase of the image of Christ comes at a time when elite Saudi’s are highly concerned about an ongoing “purge” of influential national figures at the bequest of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. Badar is reportedly a close friend and confidant of the crown prince, who is already well-known for making extravagant purchases well into the hundreds of millions.

Puzzling, to say the least.

I hope he does not plan to destroy it.

He can do whatever he wants with it.   Getting $450 million out of some rich idiot's mattress and out into the general economy may do some good.
