Sharks of different species swim in the world’s oceans for more than 420 million years, and for most of this time, they are considered one of the cruelest and largest predators on planet Earth. Now sharks are much smaller than they were millions of years ago. However, some species still grow to quite large sizes, and there are people who pay a lot of money to get one of these creatures.
Tiger shark can grow up to 5 meters in length. In 2007, hedge fund manager Stephen Cohen, who owns more than $ 12 billion, bought a dead tiger shark, 4 meters long by 27 centimeters long.
In order to prevent decomposition, the body of this shark was placed in a tank with alcohol. If you were a Cohen, you would also like to keep this fish in excellent condition, especially if you paid $ 8 million for it.
