£ 50 million Diamond Skull
Artist Damien Hirst covered the entire human skull with 8,601 pieces of diamond. 
The skull is thought to belongs to a 35-year-old European who lived between 1720 and 1810 which Hirst brought from a shop in Islington, north London.
The centrepiece of the 18th century skull is a pear-shaped pink diamond, set in the skull's forehead and the £12m-worth of diamonds are said to be ethically sourced.
You would not believe that the new teeth made for the artwork cost £14m covered with platinum.
The Diamond skull was sold at £ 100 million.
