4. Art
What most rich people own at their houses as decoration? A fine piece of art. Whether it is a sculpture, a painting, or others. You will find at least one of these masterpieces beautifying their home sweet home.
Rich people own paintings they won at auctions. They spent millions of dollars competing with other buyers to have the legendary masterpiece hanging on their wall. They may not be a fan of art, but the pride of owning a piece of history is priceless.
A billionaire Steven Cohen took home a lot of these exclusive paintings home. In 2006, he spent $137.5 million (now worth $157.5 million) for Woman III, a painting by Willam de Kooning. He also took Le Reve, a painting by Pablo Picasso, for $155 million in 2013.
The most expensive painting ever sold in auction goes to Qatar royal family. It was a painting of two Haitian women titled Nafea Faa Ipoipo? (When Will You Marry?). This Paul Gauguin’s painting was sold for $300 million.
