$100 million for a skull?
August 31st, 2007 by Shawn
An artist in London has created a platinum and diamond encrusted skull and sold it to an investment group for $100 million. The skull will be on exhibit in an upcoming international art show and the investment group anticipates selling it within a few years for a nice profit.
It was modeled after a real skull and contains 32 platinum plates with 8,601 diamonds, using a rare and magnificent 52 carat pink diamond in the center, studded with 14 pear-shaped diamonds. The artist entitled the piece “For the Love of God”, because it was meant to highlight the transience of human existence. For the love of God is that a lot of money!
