Art & Wealth "They buy art to appreciate it, to learn from it and to profit from it."
From Bill Cosby's African-American Art Collection to Steve Wynn's passion for traditional masterpieces to Charles Saatchi's portfolio of iconic works to Bill Gate's collection, art has always been a status symbol for the wealthy.
But it goes deeper than that...As quoted from the 2007 Forbes article, Top Billionaire Art Collectors, written by Anthony Haden-Guest:
"The worlds of art and money have always been intertwined; each basking in the other's reflected luster.
Today's billionaires are no different from the grand dukes and popes of the Renaissance or the merchants of 17th century Amsterdam. They buy art to appreciate it, to learn from it and to profit from it.
