well billionaire-and-potentate land is a small small small ~~world~~ orb, after all. It's all basically two degrees of separation at most as to knowing who the others all are and their proclivities. So it's always easy to do any conspiracy you like. and they are the traditional favorites among "professional" conspiracy theorists.

That said, immediately came to mind after the full story came out on the "Leonardo" sale that the most curious thing was not that they could find two idjits from billionaire-potentate land to bid on it--sucker born every minute- it's that gulf potentates were bidding on art depicting not just a human figure, but an iconic Christian figural image. Multitudes of sinfulness to any Wahabbi! Mullah Omar would have them stoned....etc. Why? There's lots of other things you can throw multi millions at, things without human figures.

Wow, I come from simpler times when it was just Dianetics or the Bhagavad Gita at airports - who knew salvation was so expensive.

a lotta times it's just looking like all types of gangstas need their talismans/magic balls whatever (given that they are not strict adherents of like the Ten Commandments or similar codes,) and they will pay a pretty price for them:

best story on Rybolovlev vs. Bouvier @ New Yorker Feb. 2016. It's a long read but it's worth it if you want to understand what really goes on with this type of crew, shenanigans galore.And how stoopid some oligarchs can be. And this was before the Saudis getting involved. Helpful too in understanding why there is this mega millions art market separate and removed from the much vaster"used" art market, which is flooded by boomer estates and where we are back at 1980's prices, where you're talking often three zeros, four zeroes max.
