In this episode, we interviewed Maria Brito, an experienced art advisor who has acquired over $100 million worth of art for various clients, including celebrities, Fortune 500 CEOs, hedge fund managers, and more. Art has proven to be a more lucrative investment than traditional options like stocks and bonds. Studies show that art has outperformed the S&P 500, with an average annual return of 7% over the past decade.
