Billionaires wanted it, but 54,578 everyday investors got it first… and profited
When incredibly rare and valuable assets come up for sale, it’s typically the wealthiest people that end up taking home an amazing investment. But not always…
One platform is taking on the billionaires at their own game, buying up and fractionalizing some of history’s most prized blue-chip artworks for its investors.
It’s called Masterworks. Their nearly $1 billion collection includes works by greats like Banksy, Picasso, and Basquiat, all of which are collectively owned by everyday investors. When Masterworks sells a painting – like the 16 it’s already sold – investors could share in the profits.
