The 275-year-old auction¹ house Sotheby's is being sold to a French Israeli businessman for about $3.7 billion.

有275年历史的苏士比拍卖行被一位以色列籍法国商人买下，成交额约37亿美元。

Sotheby's, founded in London in 1744, is the oldest company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. If the deal is approved by shareholders² and regulators, Sotheby's would become a privately³ held company for the first time in more than three decades.

The New York company, which started in London, holds auctions⁴ in 10 salesrooms worldwide with annual sales turnover⁵ exceeding $4 billion.

It reported an adjusted profit last year of close to $130 million and revenue of more than $1 billion.

"Sotheby's is one of the most elegant and aspirational⁶ brands in the world, said the buyer, Patrick Drahi. "As a longtime client and lifetime admirer of the company, I am acquiring Sotheby's together with my family."
