Try to top a triceratops sitting inside Singapore’s ‘Fort Knox’ for the ultra-rich
Dino-mite treasures: inside Singapore’s ‘Fort Knox’ storing playthings of ultra-rich
The triceratops fossil was on display during the lead-up to last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix attended by ultra-high-net-worth individuals
The jagged edges of its frill and horns are largely intact, and according to its owner, Chaw Wei Yang, 26, it is one of the most complete triceratops skull fossils ever found.
Chaw, who runs Fine Art Storage Services (FASS) located inside Le Freeport, formerly known as Singapore Freeport, along with his partners, acquired the option to the fossil while it was still in the ground in Montana, United States. It was dug up just a few months ago.
“I love dinosaurs, and I’m not the only one. It’s a very universal thing – we grew up with dinosaurs, and that kind of segues to why I got into collecting them because for dinosaurs, the appeal is universal. For art, it can be very subjective,” Chaw said. He did not disclose how much he paid for the option and excavation.
