Thierry Guetta, popularly known as Mr. Brainwash or MBW, is a well renowned street-artist and filmmaker who has an estimated net worth of $20 million. He gained popularity as a street artist and then moved on to making films. He also has his wealth from his clothing store.

Thierry was an amateur videographer who filmed street artists through the 2000s, and later himself became a street artist. His cousin, a famous street artist named Invader, for this art, introduced him. He is also associated with artwork construction. However, he does not take any credit for the work done – he passes on the work of his creative team. Interestingly, Thierry was paid by Madonna to design the cover of her Celebration album. Most of his work was sold at a very high price in his self-financed exhibition – Life is Beautiful.

Thierry Guetta was born in Paris, France. We can learn a lot about him from the film Exit Through The Gift Shop, which was directed by Banksy. He has been into many controversies lately, but he has managed to sort them out, especially after the release of the movie. These controversies have not stopped Guetta and he is still delivering great street art. Many of his creative works has resembled his associates Banksy and Shepard Fairey. They have commented on the work of Guetta presented in the exhibition by labeling it as overheated and hyped street art market.
