Larry Gagosian: Art Dealer and Entrepreneur
Larry Gagosian is an American art dealer and entrepreneur with a net worth of $600 million dollars. He began selling posters near UCLA in the late 70s before moving on to re-selling works of contemporary art, quickly gaining a reputation for selling art quickly. By the early 80s, he had opened his own gallery and began working with notable collectors such as Charles Saatchi and Samuel Newhouse, Jr. He is known for having an excellent eye for art and for producing gorgeous gallery showings, but also has a reputation for bending the truth if it suits him.
Gagosian currently owns four galleries in the US, two in London, and one each in Rome, Athens, Paris, Geneva, and Hong Kong. He brokers over $1 billion worth of art transactions every year across the globe, jetting between galleries on his $40 million Bambardier Global Express private jet.
