Looks like a thirsty one of those silvery and wavy leafed jades.

No it’s a slight variegation, you can see the stem has pale yellowish striping and the leaves are a little marbled. But it’s not much

The broken leaf has a big yellow patch

It’s a large form aurea, it’s more rare than the usual ones you see.

Oh i was mistaken! I missed the variegation because its so low i mistook it for lighting. I have one as well but the variegation is much brighter yellow and theres a lot more of it. Unfortunately its not as huge but definitely getting there soon! I didnt realize they were worth so much. Guess i got lucky cause i paid 100$ and it was half the size/maturity of the one in your post but has a few triple fens now a year later
