Real estate entrepreneur Grant Cardone, who has a gallery in his Miami home, said collecting art gives him more fulfillment than investing in the stock market.
"I don't consider myself a connoisseur. I'm very new to the art world. If I like it, I buy it. I don't care who did it," he told CNBC. Alongside pieces displayed throughout his home, Cardone also has an art gallery to house his considerable collection. " starting to see the art saying, hey, you know, that been good for you? And I'm like, yeah, it's good for me … It's better than the dollar or the euro … The stock market doesn't give me any fulfillment, I don't go back and look at myshares and feel good about it. But I walk in my gallery or down the kitchen or in my office and I see a piece and I'm like, man, it's super cool.
"I plan on never selling any this stuff. It's really for my personal enjoyment. And you know, art makes me happy," he said.Former investment banker Christian Levett has a different approach. He's been collecting art for almost 30 years, starting with old master paintings and Roman, Greek and Egyptian antiquities before moving on to pieces by female abstract expressionists.
Once or twice a week, Levett invites small groups to see his collection, often taking tours himself. Groups are sometimes made up of students from the American colleges that have outposts in Florence, such as Harvard University and New York University, or come from museum or patrons' groups.
