Damien Hirst - The £200m man, by funster on Apr 27, 2008 18:00:18 GMT 1, Whether you like his art or not (and for reference I do) - The Sunday Times has listed Hirst as the UK's 397th richest person, up by £70m since last year to £200m. It seems a vast amount for a living artist to have acquired - he quotes "I'm richer than any artist has ever been at my age" - atleast he makes no bones (or skulls) about it.
In the same respect would be interesting to see if The Times could ever permit themselves to allow the name 'Banksy' to ever make it onto the list, especially as there are far more dubious listings than an unknown graffiti artist included this year!
