Copy of the Magna Carta Sold for $21 Million

One of the several still-existing copies of the Magna Carta, the document that laid the basis for democracy as we know it today, was sold last month at auction for $21.3 million. It was bought by David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group, a private equity fund.

I don't know, but the words private equity fund always translates to me to be "We're gonna screw anyone we can to make as much money as possible."
