Follow-up on Apex the Stegosaurus skeleton

 








A couple of posts ago I noted that a very nice skeleton of a Stegosaurus (dinosaur) was being auctioned by Sotheby's on July 17th.  The auction house estimated it would go for $4 - 6 million USD.

Well, it went for a little more than that.  And it's clear the buyer (name revealed below) has a lot of money.

Let me repeat that. A lot of money.

Billionaire collector Ken Griffin buys Stegosaurus skeleton for record $45m at Sotheby’s

Fortunately, he says he's going to explore donating or loaning it to a museum.
