Luxist

Last year one of the 17 copies of The Magna Carta sold for $21.3 million. The parchment bears the seal of King Edward I and is dated to 1297. The document was owned by the Perot Foundation, which was created by former Presidential candidate and Texas billionaire Ross Perot. The Perot Foundation bought its copy in the early 1980s from a British family for $1.5 million. That's one sharp investment. 15/12/08
