Honestly, apart from one or two genuine "art lovers" here, mostly it's based on social climbing, ego, and market speculation. Let's be honest, most self-made tycoons are entirely possessed by making a profit - and watching the monetary value of a painting increase is what really drives their thrill of collecting. There are plenty of extremely talented, struggling artists out there creating great work but they aren't represented by the top dealers - and none of these billionaires would ever buy anything from a "middle-market" gallery. So don't tell me its all about the "love of art"

[liothomasart]

Keep it coming. Subscribed with a bell

[seviregis]

Very well put together and interesting. Thank you. Meanwhile I saw the exact same painting I did in 2016 hanging on the wall of Microsoft, so I guess it’s more valuable than I realized. Too bad I gave it away.

I wish you make a video about the topic ( art and money laundering )
Does they relate somehow? Because money launderers need to convert their cash to assets that doesn’t go less in value in fact it increases

[kimicz]

Very nice video! But a lot of mistakes - Abramovich and Zhukova are not together for many years. Also there was a picture of Onassis when talking about Niarchos

Back in the day I was fortunate to be a docent for a traveling show of early Christian art. The was a Rembrandt of Ester in her gold dress. I would just go and sit in front of it wondering how he made the gold dazzle. The collection revealed more about religious history/spin than I was aware of.

With all this money being made, I wonder how much the artist actually makes?

[nirvaansinghtheartist]

I think you forgot the Rothchild's

[MrIrons-ogrg]

I am going to be like you guys here in Jamaica and change the face of the Caribbean.

The two Van Gogh paintings shown when discussing the Niarchos collection and Broad collection are not by Van Gogh. Kind of poor pastiches of Van Gogh. Which makes me wonder how many fakes do these people own? And how much insurance is covering the total of however many fakes?

David Geffen first became a millionaire in 1969 when the extraordinary New York singer/songwriter Laura Nyro sold her publishing to Columbia records and Geffen got his share as her manager. Nyro was Geffen's first artist under management. He could not have chosen any better. She was the hottest pop songwriter 1968 - 69. In November 1969 3 of her songs were on Billboard at 1, 2 and 10. She features heavily in the documentary Inventing David Geffen. She was aged only 21 in 1969.

How is Larry Gagosian not here? The owner of Gagosian galleries, one of the biggest in the world.

[LHollan]

Wow you simply ignored Berardo Collection, which is valued at 1.8 BILLION EUROS, over 2 BILLION dollars according to Christie’s

[robinred]

They are no collectors, they are just buyers. And mainly they are speculators, hoping to make more and more money with it. It's just business.

[tomek]

( 4:51 that's a Koons, not a Hirst )

[ghulamdastgeer]

Is there anyone collecting hand made carpets/ rugs with errors?

[johnfelman]

Yes thank-you for the report. Apart from the Jewish Nahmad brothers being no 1 on this list who are huge art dealers with the biggest collection or one of the biggest at no 1 ; -
it is said the Jewish Mugrabi family in NYC are close to rival them as they too are similar style private art dealers with one of the biggest art collections in the world. - but not listed here.
AND also not listed is
3) the Wildenstein family ( art dealers as well ) collection in France / USA is huge - believed to be worth a 10 billion art collection held for years. ( not listed here )

4 ) also King Charles of UK has a huge art collection too. - is not listed.

The price of Liechtenstein has a very long head 😮 And the woman next to him too… Btw who is that? His wife?

[jimboorins]

Gnomes are 0.2% of the global population.
On this list, numbers 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 are gnomes.
#12 (Microsoft) is owned by gnomes in the board of directors.
Every aspect of the global art collecting is gnomish. What are the odds?

Money and fame do not always equate to quality.
