Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov announced back in March that he would auction off his Nobel Peace Prize medal to raise money for Ukrainian refugees.
On Monday night it sold for a record-breaking $103.5 million, with all of the proceeds going to UNICEF's child refugee fund, Heritage Auctions announced.
Online bidding had opened on June 1 (to coincide with International Children's Day) and live bidding took place in New York City on Monday (which happened to be World Refugee Day).
