About this listen

 Why do billionaires spend crores on what looks like random paint splashes? In this episode, we dive into the secret world of ultra-rich art collectors and reveal why buying "dumb" art is often less about love for creativity and more about cold, hard strategy. From flipping paintings for massive profits to dodging taxes by donating them at inflated values, art becomes a financial tool rather than just a decorative piece. But that’s not all — we also explore how the elite use art to launder money, manipulate markets, and secure VIP access to powerful social circles. With anonymous deals in shady freeports and coordinated campaigns to hype unknown artists, the art world turns out to be a playground for the rich to grow wealth, gain influence, and open doors money alone can’t buy. Tune in for the surprising truths behind those bizarre million-dollar masterpieces!
