Would it make more sense to keep the Lesedi La Rona?Let's say Lucara sells the 1109 carat diamond for one hundred million. They give 10% of that money to Botswana's governtment. Plus if they try and sell at auction they have to give what? 20-30% to the auction house. And then I'm not sure how much The Canadian Government would tax Lucara on the sell. So after all that said, if the famous diamond sells at around one hundred million, Lucara would get 40 to 50% of what the Diamond sells for... At the most? Which still would be a great profit. But what if it sells for 75-80 Million?
Does it just make more sense to keep it? Maybe just split a percentage with the museums and other exhibits in order to keep money coming in constantly, instead of selling it and making 30 to 50 million dollars at most after everyone gets their commissions and taxes.
Also I am not sure what kind of deal that Botswana and Lucara have, so this probably wouldn't be possible since Botswana will need their cut, of course.
