Scott Jacobs Net Worth

Jacobs worked for an art gallery as a teen and went on to sell art out of a van. At 19, he purchased an art gallery at below market value and was an art dealer for 25 years. In 1989, his wife Sharon gave him an easel, canvases and paints as a Christmas gift. Jacobs began painting and displaying his work in his own galleries under the name Escotete. He concentrated on creating work in a photorealistic style when he received positive feedback for that style of his work. In 1993, a short time after painting two pieces, Fat Boy and Live to Ride, which featured Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Jacobs’ work was seen by the motorcycle manufacturer, Harley-Davidson, and they signed Jacobs as Harley Davidson’s first officially licensed artist in its fine art program, a position he still holds.
