Michael Graves is an American architect who has a net worth of $10 million. Known to be one of The New York Five group of architects, Graves left a permanent mark with his contemporary building designs and some prominent public commissions.

In this period, he also published several books on his teachings and works like "The Swedish Connection", "The Necessity of Drawing: Tangible Speculation" and "Le Corbusier's Drawn References".
