An anonymous patron purchased Giovanni Casanova's original manuscript for The Story of My Life, 3,700 pages that have never been published in full, detailing the Venetian adventurer's 18th century sexual conquests of countless women, some men and at least one nun. Even without the sex the story is like a Harrison Ford adventure movie, prison break and all. The manuscript's price: about $9.5 million, making it the most valuable in the world.
