#4. $140,000,000. Jackson Pollock – No.5, 1948. It is claimed by the New York Times that this painting was sold by David Geffen (of Geffen Records), to David Martinez (managing partner of Fintech Advisory). However, a press release issued on behalf of Martinez states that he didn’t actually purchase the painting. So the truth is shrouded in mystery, and it can only be rumored to have sold for a record-breaking $140 million

#1. $250 million. The Card Players by Paul Cézanne,2011. The exact price of The Card Players (even the currency of sale) is not known, with estimates from $259 million to even $320 million. The Card Players is a series of oil paintings by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. Painted during Cézanne’s final period in the early 1890s, there are five paintings in the series. Keep in mind though guys, the Royal Family of Qatar didn’t buy the series – they bought just that one painting for ~259 million). The series is considered by critics to be a cornerstone of Cézanne’s art during the early-to-mid 1890s period, as well as a “prelude” to his final years, when he painted some of his most acclaimed work.The models for the paintings were local farm hands, some of whom worked on the Cézanne family estate, the Jas de Bouffan. Each scene is depicted as one of quiet, still concentration; the men look down at their cards rather than at each other, with the cards being perhaps their sole means of communication outside of work. One critic described the scenes as “human still life”, while another speculated that the men’s intense focus on their game mirrors that of the painter’s absorption in his art.

MOST BUYERS NORMALLY HAVE OTHER INVESTMENTS LIKE CASH, OWN OR PARTLY OWN BUSINESSES, PROPERTIES, SHARES AND STOCK, |

The super rich buy art as a means of storing their money to appreciate in value and price and to try and keep up or get ahead of inflation the same way people in NIGERIA buy land in an area hoping hoping for the land to appreciate in value and price over time and to keep up with inflation which is the increase in the price of goods and services. physical and electronic cash depreciates and loses value and purchasing power over time due to inflation which is the rise in the price of goods and services for example there was a time a bottle of coke was 7naira.50 kobo but a bottle of coke is now 50 naira minimum in most shops so my 7naira.50 kobo twenty years ago will have to be 50 naira to buy me a bottle of coke today. Rich people have different investments with the aims of 1. Increasing their money and wealth and assets(anything that appreciates or increases in price and value over time) 2. Keeping ahead of inflation 3. Storing wealth 4. Reducing business, investment, personal and financial risk and one way to reduce risk is not to put all eggs in one basket but to have different investments and assets like Share ownership in companies, have businesses that make money and profits, have land or and properties for rent, appreciation, or storage of wealth, diamonds, gold, old antique memorabilia like for example michael jacksons Glove may cost much to buy, old or limited cars, , musicworks copyright,movie and fimworks copyrights, expensive artworks. These passive investments do not require day to day monitoring and supervision like business and are also used to store wealth imagine saving 100 million cash in your house or bank or saving it as a painting or diamonds, they can also appreciate in value and can sometimes be used as collateral to get loans by the owner Example Michael Jackson bought atv music publishing a music company which owned the musical copyrights for most of the songs of popular music group the beatles for 47.5 million US dollars in 1985. As at 2007 that investment was worth 390.6 million US DOLLARS WITH MANY READY BUYERS. BOUGHT 1985 for 47.5 million US dollars, AS AT 2007 twenty two years later now valued at 390.6 million US dollars with ready buyers. Arts, diamonds, antique cars, music copyright ownership of valuable song catalogues are Long term Type of passive investments for the rich with the hope of saving wealth and long term price and value increase. These type of assets are mainly bought , kept and sold by millionaire and billionaire (in us dollars) individuals, companies, corporations, rulers and politicians who usually have other types of traditional investments and want to diversify or spread their investment portfolio and are mainly long term investments which do not require day to day supervision just like buying a land to hope it appreciates over time and also to save or tie cash down and the land can also be used as collateral to borrow money or take loan.
