In 2024, wealthy women spent far more on art than men.
That might sound niche—but it’s a signal that the power center of collecting is shifting, and with it, the cultural gatekeepers who decide what gets visibility and long-term value.
The new Art Basel & UBS Global Collecting Survey shows how women buyers aren’t just spending more—they’re reshaping the market itself: buying more works by women, favoring emerging artists, and doing more direct deals with creators.
It’s not just an art-world trend. It’s a preview of how women’s wealth will redefine culture, philanthropy, and influence over the next decade.
We keep treating longevity like a supplement stack. It’s not. It’s social architecture—third places, walkable blocks, intergenerational programs that make connection the default.
In today’s episode with Ken Stern, you’ll learn:
👉 Why connection beats most biohacks 👉 What social health looks like in Singapore + Spain 👉 How intergenerational ties add productive years 👉 What U.S. leaders—and each of us—can implement now
Challenge: Pick one weekly ritual that adds connection. Comment with your pick, and I’ll spotlight a few next week.
