The Princeton Principle: How Elite Institutions Create Demand Without Selling 6:47

5h ago6:47

6:47

There’s a kid from Greenwich who’s been training for this since age 10. Tutors. Mandarin lessons. Volunteer work in Africa. A résumé longer than most executives. His parents don’t say it out loud, but it’s understood: “This is about Princeton.” And every year, across Park Avenue apartments, London townhouses, and gated compounds in Singapore, the s…

He wasn’t the client. He wasn’t the investor. He wasn’t even in the room for the meeting. He was the quiet connection. The afterthought. The “Oh—you should talk to…” that changed everything. That’s how it works in the world of the wealthy. The deal rarely comes from the obvious source. It doesn’t come from your ad. It doesn’t come from your website…

Invisible Ink: How to Build a Personal Brand That Resonates with the Wealthy 5:46

4h ago5:46

A logo doesn’t make a brand. A tagline doesn’t make a brand. A perfectly curated Instagram grid? Definitely doesn’t make a brand. Not in the world of the wealthy. In that world, your personal brand isn’t what you say. It’s what they say about you when you leave the room. It’s the unspoken energy you carry. It’s the stories whispered between members…

There’s a tailor in Mayfair who doesn’t have a website. No phone number, either—not one you’d find. You meet him through a friend, or not at all. His shop has no signage. Just a brass handle, a curtained window, and the unmistakable smell of steamed wool and cedar oil when you step inside. His name? Quentin Rye. And while he rarely speaks above a w…

There’s a man in Palm Beach who starts cooking at 4:30 a.m. No apron. No clanging pans. Just a starched white chef coat, a silent kitchen, and a stocked Sub-Zero full of rare produce flown in overnight. His name is Jules. You’ve never heard of him, and that’s exactly the point. Jules is a private chef for a multigenerational family with homes in fo…

In an era of globalized education, where ideals of freedom and inquiry should thrive, an alarming trend has emerged: foreign authoritarian regimes infiltrating American academia.

You’re sitting across from a man who owns five homes. One of them he hasn’t visited in three years. He just likes knowing it’s there. You’re trying to explain your service—what you offer, how it works, why you’re worth it. And suddenly, you realize something: He’s not evaluating your offer the way normal people do. He’s not comparing prices. He’s n…

The first time someone asked Roman Bell what he does, he smiled and said: “I run a business that introduces me to the right people… while I’m sleeping.” They laughed. He didn’t. Roman doesn’t hustle. He doesn’t pitch. He doesn’t “hop on” calls. He consults for sovereign investors and third-generation luxury brands, all from a home office that looks…

There’s something nobody tells you when you start working with high-net-worth clients: They’re not just wealthy. They’re tribal. They have their own language. Their own codes of behavior. Their own unspoken rules about who’s in—and who’s just visiting. You’ve probably felt it before: You walk into a room where the suits are quieter. The laughter is…

There’s a guy in Sonoma named Barrett Shaw. If you know him, it’s probably through someone wealthy, discreet, and obsessive about detail. He designs wine labels. But not like you think.

At a dinner party in Napa—just 12 guests, two sommeliers, and one of those chefs who speaks in poetry—a man named Julian DeVere passed a signed copy of a book across the table. The title? Preserving Legacy: A Private Framework for Families of Wealth. No one at the table had heard of it. It wasn’t on the Times list. Didn’t trend on BookTok. Didn’t n…

It wasn’t always like this. There was a time when the wealthy showed it all off—columns in society magazines, their names carved into museum wings, estates featured in Architectural Digest. But then the world changed. Suddenly, the most valuable asset wasn’t what they owned. It was what no one knew they owned. Today, privacy has become a luxury goo…

If you’re trying too hard, you’re already out of the conversation. The bougie dialect isn’t about what you say—it’s about what you don’t say. Or better yet, what you say just ambiguously enough that only those in the know will catch it. Like a secret handshake made of syllables. This is the language of people who call their second home “the house u…

There’s a private gym in Manhattan where you can’t walk in off the street. No sign on the door. No drop-in passes. No “first week free.” Inside? It looks like a Bond villain’s personal training lair.

In early 2025, headlines announced that the Trump administration would move to dramatically slash USAID—the United States’ flagship development agency. For many, the move was surprising, even self-defeating: why would a president so focused on countering China weaken one of Washington’s most effective tools of soft power? At the same time, China’s …

Let me tell you about a woman I met at a gallery opening in Beverly Hills. She had a name like “Charlotte” or “Camille”...

We were talking about a sculpture—nothing big, just an bronze starting at $175,000—and I casually asked what she d…

It started with a handshake in a suite at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Not a boardroom. Not a pitch meeting. Just a quiet moment between two men who knew how the game was played.

Let’s start with a truth nobody wants to say out loud: Looking this “relaxed” is a full-time job. The bougie wardrobe is a masterpiece of contradiction.

Bougie Defined: From Bourgeoisie to Bottle Service 5:24

18d ago5:24

5:24

Let’s start with the obvious question: What does “bougie” even mean anymore? Once upon a time—say, in Marxist textbooks and 1990s grad school syllabi—“bourgeoisie” referred to the capitalist class. People who owned property, managed factories, and wore neckties to dinner. But over time, the word evolved. It slipped off the pages of political theory…

If you’ve walked through the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, you already know: This isn’t a shopping mall. It’s a performance. Marble statues. Faux daylight skies.
