Gus the T. rex Breaks Fossil Auction Record with $50 Million Sale

A 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex named Gus sold for £37.4m ($50.1m) at Sotheby’s in New York—the most ever paid for a dinosaur. The nearly 60% complete fossil was discovered in 2021 on a South Dakota ranch and required three summers of digging plus three years in the lab to reassemble, with bite marks and healed ribs indicating a life on the hunt. The buyer remains undisclosed; the sale surpasses the previous record and signals growing ultra-wealthy interest in fossil collecting, with Gus potentially heading to a museum in the future.
