Picasso was worth $240 million at the time of his death, and that's in 1976 dollars. Plenty of artists become very, very wealthy.

- amanaplanacanal 1y ago"Plenty" is kind of vague. How many in total are we talking? 100? 1000? 10k?
- Supernaut 1y agoWell, how many artists are there in total?
- amanaplanacanal 1y agoHundreds of millions. Up to a billion maybe? If you mean people that actually make a living at it, not many.
- overrun11 1y agoArt is highly valued it's just a winner takes most market just like sports. A tiny minority make all the money and the rest get nothing.
- frm88 1y agoThis seems both a) vague and b) based on a sample size of n=1. 85% of all visual artists in the U. S. make less than 25k/year [0]. Also, don't forget that most artists work in companies (again: visual art), like making story boards for anime etc. [0] https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/art-world-statistics-every-artist-needs-to-know/ https://www.contemporaryartissue.com/art-world-statistics-ev...
