Henry Kravis
Art collection: $700 million
Co-founder of leveraged-buyout firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts has an eye for deals. Reportedly auctioned off Edgar Degas' "Danseuse au Repos" (pictured) through Sotheby's in 2008 for an estimated $37 million, $9 million more than he paid for it in 1999. Arts' patron who favors impressionist and contemporary art has a wing of the Metropolitan Museum named after him. Kravis served on Sotheby's board from 1997 to 2003. His wife, Marie Josée-Kravis, is president of the Museum of Modern Art board of trustees.
