This email discusses the provenance of Salvator Mundi, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci that is the last known in private hands. In 2013, Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev purchased the painting for $127 million through his art dealer, Swiss businessman Yves Bouvier. Before Bouvier, the painting was owned by New York City-based gallerist Robert Simon, who found it at an estate auction in New Orleans in 2005 and paid just $10,000 for it. The email also mentions a conversation about Donald Trump overruling Congress on Yemen and the relationship between Rybolovlev and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).
