9. Gerhard Richter
Estimated Worth: £26 Million
Richter recently expressed his incredulity at the astronomical sums of money paid for his works: ‘The records keep being broken and every time my initial reaction is one of horror,’ stated the artist, after sale of one of his works for £30 million. Richter also called the art market “hopelessly excessive” and said that prices are rarely a reflection of quality.
