In June, 2006, Ron Lauder paid $135 Million dollars for the Klimt painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer. Today, the painting hangs in Lauder's Neue Galerie in New York City. Five of Klimt's paintings (taken illegally by the Nazis) were restored back to their original owner, Maria Altmann, who eventually sold the paintings to Mr. Lauder.
