Hawaiian statue Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff bought for $7 million

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff paid more than $7 million to buy a carving of the Hawaiian god Ku at auction.

The Benioffs, who own land in Hawaii, donated the carving to Bishop Museum in Honolulu, where they felt it belongs.

Now some experts have called into question whether the statue was carved as far back as previously thought, according to the New York Times.

One expert told the Times that the statue could be worth as little as $5,000, depending on when it was created.
