Yes and no. When the Queen mother died back in 2002 she left
more money to Harry, knowing that William would eventually become Prince and
inherit the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate valued at over $1 billion.
Which is exactly what happened when Queen Elizabeth passed
away in 2022. So overall, Willian inherited quite a bit more than Harry.
But this $1 billion estate is nothing compared to the $10
billion that King Charles received tax free, thanks to a clever investment by
the Queen into one of the world’s most exclusive asset classes … fine art.
The Royal family has been investing a portion of their
fortune into art for centuries …
But the Royals are far from the only billionaires who have
invested a significant chunk of their fortunes in this emerging asset class.
Billionaires like David Geffen, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates
are all avid art collectors.
The recently-named “richest man in the world,” Berard
Arnault, who is the CEO of luxury-goods conglomerate LVMH, has an extensive
collection of art.
Plus, there’s a long list of celebrities like Jay-Z, Oprah
Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Madonna, and Ellen Degeneres who
have invested millions into art.
The only problem is, regular investors have always been
locked out of this asset class because it usually takes millions of dollars to
purchase just one iconic piece.
Until now. Investing in art just got easier, thanks to a
revolutionary new investment platform called Masterworks.
Masterworks provides a simple, secure way for
anyone to invest in shares of paintings from famous artists like Picasso,
Banksy and Basquiat.
Which is great, because contemporary art prices have outpaced the
S&P 500 by 131% since 1995 … and real estate and gold by more than three to
one over the same period.
Even better, art acts as a great hedge during periods of
high inflation and market volatility.
Which is why Blackrock CEO, Larry Fink, who manages nearly
$10 trillion in assets, recently called art “the new gold” because of its
remarkable ability to “preserve wealth”
These are just a few reasons why billionaires like Larry
Fink, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey are pouring hundreds of millions into this
asset class.
Thanks to Masterworks, you can join them. All you need
