Collectors on the list are profiled with a brief biography focused on the type of art that they collect (contemporary, post war, modern, etc.) and includes their city or cities of residence, a photo, their source of wealth and the years they have been on the Top 200 list, as many collectors are on it for multiple years. The list released in September 2018 includes Leonard Lauder, Edythe and Eli Broad, Rebecca and Warren Eisenberg, Alison and Peter Klein, Marsha and Jeffrey Perelman, Tatsumi Sako, Sheri and
