How much is Leonardo's 'Lady with an Ermine' worth?

Artnet news reports that the Polich government is planning to buy the Czartoryski collection, which includes Leonardo's Lady with an Ermine (above). A figure of $2 billion has been mentioned. Wikipedia tells me that the collection also contains two Rembrandts, among other things. We must wonder though what the Leonardo is worth - $500m? Or is it really 'priceless'?

Update - apparently it's insured for €350m. Cheap?
