But it might be a little more. You have to look at the massive art collection.” Cosby and his wife, Camille, 82, possess museum-worthy works of art. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, in 2018, there were at least 300 works, including paintings by Picasso, Renoir, Rembrandt and Matisse.One residence on the massive property that the Cosbys own in Shelburne, Mass., has a sing reading: “If you are not invited DO NOT pass through these gates.”Bill Cosby, far from his life of mansions and private chefs, is led in shackles from the Montgomery County Courthouse.The couple’s former curator, David Driskell, claimed in an early 2000s book that they have “the most significant collection in the hands of an African American family.” The couple also has several prestigious properties, including an estate in Shelburne Falls, Mass., which sources say he has been offered $30 million for in 2016. Sitting on 650 acres, with around five buildings, the property is where Cosby retreated following his release from prison in 2021, after serving three years of a 10-year sentence.

In 2018, Camille sold a painting by Thomas Hart Benton, “Going West,” and used another one, “The Instruction” as collateral on a $3 million loan.. “It came to me through an agent,” Edelman, who made the loan and was paid back, told The Post. “That agent charged them a very big fee for getting this loan because, I gather, it was difficult to get at the time. She was the borrower and she was the owner, according to the documents.”Gallery owner Buck Kiechel told Bloomberg Businessweek that he estimates the combined value of the two Bentons to be in the $12 to $14 million range.

Netflix has apparently committed to 10 episodes. Cosby’s lawyer declined to comment when approached by The Post. The ex-funnyman now leads a somewhat reclusive life. He is legally blind and spends the majority of his time “Mr. Cosby watches a lot of ‘Gunsmoke’ that’s his favorite show,” said Wyatt, pointing out that Cosby’s blindness prevents him from being able to actually see the TV screen. “He listens to a lot of sports. He’ll be listening to March Madness.” Perhaps aiming to put a favorable spin on things, but actually making Cosby’s life sound sad and lonely, Wyatt recalled from the post-disgrace days when he managed the once beloved funny man, “He would call me at five in the morning and we would have at least 15 calls a day.” As for in person social-interaction, Wyatt said, “Mrs. Cosby has pretty much kept him secluded. Everything is done over the phone.” Although almost everyone else has deserted Cosby, Camille is the one constant he can count on. “I’m going to support him right to the end,” she told a Shelburne Falls local who conveyed this to The Post.
