Among them was the “Salvator Mundi,” which Bouvier bought for $80 million before quickly selling it on to his then-client for $127.5 million. Speaking to CNN in 2021, Bouvier maintained that he had acted as a dealer, not an art adviser, and was thus entitled to mark up prices. The Russian billionaire lost his lawsuit against auction house Sotheby's yesterday. Jeenah Moon/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesThe case has been among the highest-profile art fraud disputes in recent years, offering a view into an often-secretive industry where wealthy buyers sometimes don’t know who they are buying from. Rybolovlev was allowed to sue over “Salvator Mundi” even though his ownership had proven unusually profitable.

David CameronConservatorul educat la colegiul Eton (al aristocrației britanice), care a fost premierul marii Britanii din 2010 până în 2016, era „urban și încrezător” și avea „încrederea ușoară a cuiva care nu a fost niciodată încercat prea greu de viață”. Obama spune că l-a plăcut pe Cameron ca persoană, dar nu ascunde că nu era de acord cu politicile economice ale acestuia. Vladimir PutinDespre Vladimir Putin, Obama spune că liderul rus îi aducea aminte de baronii politici pe care i-a întâlnit în Chicago. Obama notează că Angela Merkel a fost la început sceptică în privința lui, din cauza plăcerii lui de a ține discursuri. Recep Erdogan„Era cordial și în general îmi răspundea la solicitări”, scrie Obama despre președintele Turciei.
