Eli Broad
Art collection: $1 billion
A billionaire who made his fortune in home building, Broad has been collecting art for four decades, amassing nearly 2,000 works by more than 200 artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Donald Judd and Andy Warhol. His favorite piece is Jeff Koons' "Rabbit" (pictured). Broad ran out of wall space in 1984, prompting him to create the Broad Art Foundation, a lending library that makes his artwork available to institutions around the world. Still an active buyer, Broad says he's probably bought about 10 to 15 works in the past year: "We don't buy anything that's ordinary."
