A Gustav Klimt painting just sold for a jaw dropping $236.4 million, nearly doubling expectations 🎨💸

The six foot portrait sparked a bidding war at Sotheby’s before an anonymous buyer grabbed it. It’s now the most expensive modern artwork ever sold and second only to da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi overall.

The piece has a wild past too. Stolen by the Nazis, almost destroyed in WWII, then treasured for decades by Estée Lauder heir Leonard A. Lauder.

Oh, and the auction also sold a 101 kg solid gold working toilet for $12.1 million
