When Hugh Grant bought an Andy Warhol painting of Elizabeth Taylor for £2million, he was hailed as a true collector and art connoisseur. Six years later his image as a collector further increased when he sold the painting for an £11million profit. What was the secret to his success?
Grant, 49, had been on a two-day drinking spree when he ordered an assistant to bid for the painting at an auction in New York.
He said: ‘And to my horror, she did, and even worse, got it. I slightly regret selling it now, even though it made me rich.’
