I was bemused to see that some of the English Press have been pointing out that Newcastle United's new prospective owner Mohammed bin Salman spent more money on buying Leonardo's Salvator Mundi than the Premier League Football Club Newcastle United. The club is set to be purchased in a £305m deal whilst the painting was purchased for £342m (inc. commission) at Christie's in 2017. A rather interesting comparison that puts things into perspective, I suppose.
