Biography
- Together with brother David, Ezra Nahmad is an international megadealer of modern and impressionist art, which they trade mostly at auction.
- The two own an inventory worth an estimated $3.5 billion that they store in a duty-free warehouse next to the airport in Geneva, Switzerland.
- Their stockpile includes works by more than 30 blue chip artists, from Monet and Matisse to Renoir and Rothko.
- Among their holdings: 300 Picassos, worth at least $1 billion.
- Ezra's sons Hillel and Joe run art galleries in London. Their American cousins, also named Hillel and Joe, run galleries in New York.
- Though Ezra and David attend auctions together, Ezra keeps a low profile and never talks to the press, unlike his voluble brother.
