• Art Investment 101: The Asset Everyone Overlooks

  Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I’m joined by Jimmy Bassal of the Beverly Hills Art Exchange, and we’re unpacking a strategy most investors overlook: how fine art can be a real asset class that amplifies your wealth and hedges your portfolio while adding meaning to your life. Jimmy shares what it actually takes to move from collecting for passion to investing with precision, revealing how access, timing, and the right eye can translate into long-term returns that rival traditional real estate deals. We break down how to evaluate emerging artists, why “blue chip” art can be misunderstood, and what the ultra-wealthy are really doing with their art collections behind the scenes. If you’re looking for a fresh angle to build durable wealth while staying aligned with your personal taste, this episode will show you how art and business can intersect to elevate your wealth plan.
