Cohen is really into art – his collection is estimated to be worth $1 billion. This sculpture of Pablo Picasso by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan is the center piece of his living room.

Amid ongoing SEC investigations, Cohen spent $155 million on a Picasso painting that Steve Wynn accidentally put his elbow through.

He owns the Willem de Kooning painting pictured below, worth $137.5 million. It's the last in its series to be in private ownership.

And a 14-foot shark preserved in formaldehyde, a work by Damien Hirst that cost him about $8 million.

Even more artwork is scattered around his estate in Greenwich, Connecticut. Cohen bought the house for $14.8 million and expanded it to more than 35,000 square feet.

Apparently the renovations were so big, dump trucks had to make 283 round trips for all the dirt.

The Greenwich mansion also has a 6,734 square foot ice skating rink, complete with a Zamboni and its own storage cottage.

There have even been rumors of a tattooed pig living in Cohen's mansion – as another work of art.

But having one mansion isn't enough for Steve. He owns a giant penthouse in New York City, which he put on the market for $115 million last year. The price has since been reduced to $82 million, but he still hasn't found a buyer.
Cohen also owns two East Hampton homes, worth $18 million and $60 million. The first one's views were blocked by the home of another hedge fund manager Jim Chanos, so he reportedly bought another.

He also owns two apartments in New York City's West Village, for which he paid $23.4 million and $38.8 million.

And to round out the collection, Cohen just bought another enormous mansion in Beverly Hills.
