I have created an investment fund when I was 16 that I kept until I was 18. I stopped investing in stocks later on and worked in finance. I tried my hand at mergers and acquisitions, brokerage, financial advising, internatinal tax. I took my last job in that field before coming to Hollywood. I head an investor relations team...can you believe it? Me, the artist? What was I thinking?
But since I was 18, I never owned anything, house or material things except for a car when I was in a city where I had to drive. Besides owning a house, I don t see the point in owning anything. Invest in you and your life. Invest in life, not in things!!!!
I have been an artist for 4 years and will not go back to business. I really believe that IF YOU WANT TO INVEST IN SOMETHING, INVEST IN YOURSELF FIRST. Invest in SELF EDUCATION, TRAVELS AND TAKING A BREAK. Invest in something that nobody could take from you. Invest in EXPERIENCES.
If you have some extra money, help the world being a little better and invest in entrepreneurs that make the world better or art. So many of my friends thought investing in movies is NOT safe, is stock safe? What is more safe, investing in an artist with TALENT or a fund manager with TALENT?
An artist will make his art as good as he can if he has got funds besides him, a fund manager will have to work with the market, if the market sucks, chances are..he will suck too!!
Invest in something fun and HAVE FUN doing it. Invest either in yourself or in Art. Have a life!!!!!!
