Damien Hirst has an understanding banker. Mind you, this creation may be named after him.

British artist Damien Hirst's latest work of art has sold for $100 million to an unnamed investment group and Hirst will reportedly get paid in cash.

"For the Love of God" is a life-size cast of a human skull in platinum.

It's covered by 8,601 pave-set diamonds weighing 1,106.18 carats.

The single large diamond in the middle of the forehead is reportedly worth $4.2 million alone.

Hirst reportedly financed the project himself, at an estimated cost of between $10 and 15 million.
