This Painting Sold for $8 Million and Everyday Investors Profited

When a painting by master Claude Monet (you may have heard of him) was bought for $6.8 million and sold for a cool $8 million just 631 days later, investors in shares of the offering received their share of the net proceeds. It was all thanks to Masterworks, the award-winning platform for investing in blue-chip art. To date, every one of Masterworks' 16 sales out of its portfolio has returned a profit to investors. With three recent sales, investors realized net annualized returns of 17.6%, 21.5%, and 35%. How does it work? It's simple: Masterworks files each offering with the SEC so that nearly anyone can invest in highly coveted artworks for just a fraction of the price of the entire piece. Shares of every offering are limited, but Word Daily readers can skip the waitlist with this exclusive link.
