The Billionaire’s Guide to Art Investment
by Afra Pinar | Maison Velin
In a world where markets fluctuate and currencies fade, art remains the ultimate store of legacy.
The Billionaire’s Guide to Art Investment unveils how the world’s most discerning families and visionary investors preserve and grow their wealth through fine art.
Drawing on Swiss private-banking expertise, Gulf collecting culture, and the refined strategies of old-money dynasties, Afra Pinar bridges the worlds of finance and art, revealing what truly drives long-term value in masterpieces — beyond trends and auctions.
Inside these pages, you’ll discover:
•The core principles that distinguish a collector from a speculator.
•How UHNW families use art as a tool for portfolio diversification, legacy planning, and soft power.
•The hidden mechanisms of the art market — from private sales and art-backed loans to museum-level provenance and off-market transactions.
•Insights into how to read a painting as an asset — and why taste is the new currency of influence.
Written with the elegance of a curator and the precision of a financier, this guide transforms art collecting into an intellectual and strategic discipline.
Because for the new generation of global investors, art isn’t decoration — it’s capital.
