I’ve sold multimillion-dollar apartments for years, now I live like the clients I work for, with an art collection worth at least $15M

Article excerpt

Fredrik Eklund, the luxury real estate broker known for selling Manhattan's most expensive apartments, has assembled an art collection worth at least $15 million. Having spent years marketing multimillion-dollar homes to wealthy clients, the Eklund Properties co-founder has now invested heavily in works by major artists. His collection represents a shift from merely facilitating his clients' purchases to becoming a serious collector himself, blurring the line between his professional world and personal lifestyle. The art, featuring pieces by some of history's most recognized names, gives Eklund a tangible stake in the same high-end market he's spent his career navigating.
