The Lost Leonardo – The Salvator Mundi, the most expensive painting ever sold at $450 million, was believed to be a long-lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

But as its price soars, so do questions about its authenticity. Is this multi-million dollar painting actually by Leonardo — or do certain power players want it to be?
