Metallica Drummer is Rich
November 19th, 2008 by Hannah
Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is filthy rich and he has no problems showing off just how rich he is. The rocker recently purchased a Jean Michel-Basquiat painting at an auction in New York City for a cool $14 million, easily outdoing the $12 million it was estimated to go for. The piece is called ‘Untitled (Boxer)’ from 1982 and depicts an abstracted black heavyweight fighting with arms outstretched against a white graffiti background. The painting was the center of a 2005 traveling retrospective of the artist’s work. Basquiat died in 1988 of a drug overdose at the age of 27, just 6 years after the piece Lars bought was created. It seems that the drummer is also a big art collector.
