An unusual passion for collecting is rapidly spreading among the world's wealthiest people. We are talking about dinosaur skeletons worth millions of dollars.
Modern.az reports that Bloomberg published an article about this.
According to the information, dinosaur skeletons have become both a symbol of prestige and a profitable investment for the ultra-rich in recent years. Experts believe that this interest stems from a combination of fascination with ancient history and luxury.
In 2020, the famous Tyrannosaurus skeleton named "Stan" was sold at auction for 31.8 million dollars. Two years later, billionaire investor Ken Griffin set a new record by purchasing a Stegosaurus skeleton named "Apex" for 44.6 million dollars.
"Shen", considered the first complete Tyrannosaurus skeleton sold in the Asian market, also attracted great interest among collectors.
According to the publication, Hollywood stars and celebrities also participate in such auctions. Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, and other well-known figures are among those interested in rare paleontological exhibits.
Experts state that dinosaur skeletons are now valued in the same category as prestigious collectibles such as works of art and classic cars.
