💬 “Money, for me, is for spending, especially when you can afford it” 💷 Kevin Sharkey is an artist, who made £13.4m last year, after previously being homeless ⬇️ This is how he manages his money

I briefly ended up living in a tent with my dogs until I got myself back on my feet. I remember later moving into a homeless hostel, and instead of thinking “how did I end up here?”, I was thinking “how the f**k do I get out of here and never come back?”.

I have four paintings that are priced at £215,000 each. These will be sold as a set to one buyer and calledMoney, for me, is for spending, especially when you can afford it. Money means having choices and options, and when I was broke and homeless, I had neither. I love good food and wine and spend £3,000 a month on excellent Spanish wine. I travel a lot and spend £4,300 each month on five-star dog-friendly hotels. I like the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, which costs €1,200 a night. I am also a fan of the Plaza hotel in New York and K Club in Ireland. The latter costs around £1,030 per night, with everything included. I spend around £17,000 per month on household staff and other professionals like lawyers.
