Anne Sinclair Fortune: Anne Sinclair is the heir to an extraordinarily large and significant art fortune. Anne’s grandfather Paul Rosenberg was a French art agent who happened to be best friends with Pablo Picasso. Rosenberg built one of the most-successful art agency businesses, representing Picasso, Matisse and many others. Rosenberg famously struck arrangements with the artists he represented that would give him the first right to acquire all of their works directly from each artist. At the time of his death in 1959, Paul personally owned around 100 pieces of art that would eventually become almost priceless. He owned around 40 works by Picasso alone, as well as works by Renoir, Degas and Seurat.
After his death, Rosenberg’s son Alexandre inherited the collection. Alexandre died in 1987, at which point the collection passed to his sister Micheline, Anne’s mother. Micheline died in 2007, at which point Anne took control of the family collection which today is easily worth at least $200 million.
Over the years the family has sold some pieces. They sold a Money for $20 million, a Matisse for $33 million and a Leger for $22.4 million.
Real Estate: When they were together, Anne and Dominique maintained a $4 million home in Washington D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood and two apartments in Paris worth a combined $10 million. All of the real estate was in Anne’s name.
