Billionaire builds $140 Million public museum to house his overflowing collection: VIDEO
Billionaire Eli Broad boasts one of the most important private art collections in the world
We hate to admit it but now there is another reason to visit Los Angles besides the weather. Billionaire Eli Broad (worth an estimated $7.4 billion) has amassed one the most enviable art collections in the world. And now that Broad and his wife are in their twilight years, they’ve decided to make that collection public.
Typically a collection this important – Warhol, Johns, Sherman, Koons; all the names are there – would be shipped of to the MET or some other gallery of note. But Broad had other ideas for his 2, 000-plus piece collection.
