Why Madonna?
According to The Guiness Book of World Records, Madonna is the most successful female music artist of all time! Today, items once owned by the pop queen often command premium prices in major auctions around the world. Traditionally, such 'Alternative Investments' have been overlooked by most discerning investors. We offer sophisticated investor a unique opportunity to participate, in what's becoming, one of the fastest growing investment opportunities....
So why do, items once owned or used by the queen of pop, command high values?
- Continued Popularity, Appeal and Diverse Fan Base – she has successfully been able to continuously reinvent herself, ensuring longevity in an otherwise ruthless industry
- Achievements and Success – she is the most successful female music artist of all time and continues to flourish
- Diversity – she is not only a renowned singer/song writer, but Madonna has authored 5 children’s books, won a Golden Globe award for her role in Evita and more recently, designed a range of clothing for the retail chain H&M
- Supply / Demand Imbalance – the demand for genuine Madonna memorabilia outstrips the supply available; genuine Madonna memorabilia rarely come up in auctions – when they do become available, the increase in bidding activity drives the values up
The management firmly believe that Madonna memorabilia provides good value today for a lucrative return in the future. A good comparison can be found in Marilyn Monroe. Today, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia commands a high premium in the marketplace. In April 2007, a reputable dealer in London was selling a range of Marilyn Monroe assets from £3,500 onwards. An outfit worn by her in the movie ‘Some Like it Hot’ was selling for over £20,000. In August 2003, Madonna's beaded Dolce and Gabbana bra sold for £12,000 in a Sotheby's auction in New York. In the same auction, Madonna's handwritten lyrics for "Like A Prayer" fetched £10,000.
