The famous 1951 snap of the genius with his tongue out, taken at Princeton University in America, was auctioned off on website RRAuction.com on Thursday (18Jun09).

Einstein liked the Arthur Sasse photo so much, he bought nine copies.

The photo, which was taken at a party to mark the physicist's 72nd birthday, was bought by a rare books and autographs dealer from Long Island, New York.
