The customised Lamborghini Huracan that was gifted to Pope Francis last
November has been sold for a cool price of €715,000 ($861,575 or
~N310.6m) at the RM Sotheby’s auction at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte
Carlo.
That amount is more than four times the retail price ($199,800) in the U.S.
All the proceeds from the sale are going to charity.
70 percent will go to Nineveh in the Republic of Iraq, a city attacked
by terrorist group, ISIS. The remaining 30 percent will be shared
between Amici per il Centrafica Onlus, Groupe International Chirurgiens
Amis de la Main and the Pope John XXIII Community Association.

Once you receive a gift, how you use is a choice. Kudos to the Pope.
