Priceless paintings, sculptures, memorabilia…dinosaur bones?
The newest collectible in Hollywood are prehistoric skulls. The latest bidding war for a 67 million-year-old dinosaur skull between Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicolas Cage ended when it hit $276,000.
Cage walked away with the head of a tyrannosauras bataar, the Asian cousin of T-rex, proving dinosaur bones are emerging as the new, collectible must-haves for the multi-millionaires of Hollywood.
Later this year, the skeletons of two 20 ft long, 65 million-year-old aquatic predators are expected to fetch between $150,000 and $400,000.
“Dinosaur bones and all sorts of fossils are increasingly hot right now. Hollywood heavy-hitters and the mega-rich types from the Middle East love this stuff,” said Josh Chait, operations director.
“When you already have a Warhol or a Monet on the wall, you tend to want a change from traditional artwork and people are turning to natural history for that.”
