6 Richest Painters In The World

3. David Choe

Almost a literal foil to the above mentioned Vicari, Choe is a graffiti artist who achieved fortune and fame largely due to social media and the internet. The Korean painter is known for his graffiti work and murals, yet he has also expanded his sights into graphic novels as well. He’s known to be a bit eccentric, as many artists supposedly are, and his uniqueness and mystique have helped him turn his passion into an estimated worth of $200 million.
