Sotheby’s didn't say. Most likely going to some rich Arab country. Just like Stan.

From the article:

“Of them, just two, before Gus, proved to be at least 60% complete. The first, called Sue, is now on display at the Chicago Field Museum, while the second, called Stan, is at the Natural History Museum in Abu Dhabi, the auction house said.”

I would hope a guy like Elon, Bezos or some other BILLIONAIRE would buy some of these “items” and then donate them to the Smithsonian or the Museum of Natural History or some other major US MUSEUM.

Must have been somebody with the 50 million that couldn’t figure out a better way to spend it. I think I could have done better with the same money.
