titleholder

The 2018 titleholder, Catriona Gray, urged her 13.8 million Instagram followers to help a charity bring safe drinking water to thousands left homeless by back-to-back super typhoons in the Philippines.

The Kahlo also became the world’s priciest Latin American artwork by besting the $34.9 million that Buenos Aires real-estate developer Eduardo Costantini paid in 2021 for the previous titleholder, a different Kahlo from 1949, “Diego y yo.”

The painting also now joins a coveted group of art trophies that have sold for over $100 million, led by the reigning titleholder, a $450 million Leonardo da Vinci, “Salvator Mundi,” that Christie’s sold in 2017.

Then, the 31-year-old American was returning as a previous titleholder; he was also the recently crowned US PGA champion and a week away from taking his second major by lifting the Claret Jug at Royal Troon.

Then there’s current titleholder Liza Colón-Zayas, who top-lined perhaps the most memorable episode of “The Bear’s” third season.
