Well the Last Supper is a fresco so you couldn't really easily remove it and sell it could you?
The Mona Lisa's value is unquiantifiable. It is uninsured in the traditional sense as it belongs to the state of France who are their own insurers.
The value of Leonardo's works lie not in monetary value but in their value to art history. The information that they can give us about the production and meaning of the work and information regarding the life of the artist.
If you want a clue about what Leonardo's drawings rather than paintings are worth the last sale I know of was for a postcard sized sketch which was sold for $10 million. Roughly $1million a square inch.
I must say that this terrified me when I found out as a few weeks before I had been handling many of Leonardo's original sketches among others such as Raphael, Verocchio and Michelangelo etc. I worked out that I had been sitting with around $400 millions dollars worth of works at a time !!!

There are no valued dollar amounts on them because they are considered PRICELESS works of art....There insurance value is by Lloyd's of London...and they have never said the monetary value for fear of them being stolen...the MONA LISA WAS actually stolen during the early 1900's and there is a great amount of history on the subject including a book called" The Day The Mona Lisa Was Stolen." several copies were made and the Mona Lisa was taken from public view until the authenticity of the real one could be proved by experts...My family honestly inherited one of the fakes about twenty years ago which has been valued at under a million so you can only imagine what the real value of DA vinci's original is worth...the copies were so great that they even fooled the art experts of that era....

I would say that it is priceless, but in life the only thing priceless is your own life. When people go to the Louvre museum to see it, they are putting a price on that piece already ( I don't know if you have to pay to get in or not. I suppose you do). The price really depends on the kind of caliber gun you are putting on the museum director's head. Done here.

They are priceless since they are not for sale.
For insurance the Mona Lisa is $100,000,000

The Last Supper is a fresco and cannot be moved
it's on a wall - it is the wall
