What is the most expensive book ever sold? The answer is Codex Leicester by Leonardo da Vinci.
The Codex Leicester was bought by Bill Gates in 1994 for $30.8 million, which is equivalent to about $54.4 million in 2021.
What’s so special about it? The Codex Leicester was essentially Leonardo da Vinci’s science diary. Created in 1510, it contains da Vinci’s drawings, theories, and observations on things like the movement of water, the luminosity of the moon, and why fossils of sea creatures can be found on mountains.
After his purchase, Gates had the Codex digitally scanned, then released some of the images as screen savers and wallpapers for Windows 98 Plus.
