As many of you already know, we're big fans of masterworks.io, the first and only platform

for investing in fine art. Ben and I have personally invested in a handful of blue chip artworks

along with Paki McCormick, Mev Faber, Nick Majuli, and Ram Capital. Yesterday, Masterworks announced

a $110 million Series A value of the company at over $1 billion around the applause.

Masterworks plans to buy $400 million of art this year and close to $1 billion in 2022,

making them one of, if not, the largest buyer in the art market. Art is estimated to be a $1.7

trillion asset class and contemporary art has appreciated 14% annually from 1995 to 2020.

I'll be performing stocks real estate and gold. So if you listen to Robert Kayesaki and sold

everything last week, then you're in luck. You can start rebuilding your portfolio today with
