Japanese Billionaire Yusaku Maezawa On Why He's Buying Big-Name Art


FORBES pegs his net worth at $3 billion, most of which is tied up in the shares he owns of online retailer Start Today. He's channeled some of his cash into buying art --spending nearly $80 million on just two works last year. Maezawa, who is 41, made headlines in the art world when he purchased an untitled work by Jean-Michel Basquiat for $57 million - the most ever spent for that artist's work. When did you first start buying art and what do you like to collect? I'd like to emphasize in the construction that each work of art plays a leading role in the museum.
