Mona Lisa - The most highly-valued painting in the world
Time: 1962
Place: Paris, France
Details: Before the 1962–1963 tour, the painting was assessed for insurance at $100 million (equivalent to $650 million in 2018), making it, in practice, the most highly-valued painting in the world. The insurance was not purchased; instead, more was spent on security.
