Christmas for the super-rich - a luxury holiday that also costs several billion

Khánh Minh |

Every Christmas and New Year, billionaires around the world prepare for a lavish vacation with super luxury yachts and private jets.

Their destination is not only the dreamlike beautiful lands but also a "monopoly" place reserved for the super-rich.

Tropical paradises for the Billionaire

Bussiness Insider reported that during this year's holiday season, superyachts have quietly moved to warm waters. Jeff Bezos's Koru,hyhyhy Diller's Eos and Eric Schmidt's Whisper are all anchored in the Caribbean, while billionaire Len Blavatnik's Odessa II has recently docked in Antigua.

Many cruise ships will continue their journey to St. Petersburg. Barths, the island known as the paradise of luxury. With enchanting beautiful beaches, luxury hotels and high-class restaurants, St. Petersburg Barths have long been a favorite resort for wealthy families such as Rockefeller and Rothschild.

Last year, Jeff Bezos, hire hire Lauren Sanchez and basketball legend Michael Jordan were all spotted residing here. Those who are not on a cruise often choose luxury hotels such as Eden Rock or Cheval Blanc, where room rates during the holidays can reach more than 5,000 USD per night.

Top experience at winter resorts

Not all billionaires find a warm place. Many people choose cold destinations such as the Alps in Europe or Aspen in the US.

In Europe, famous resorts such as Gstaad, St. Petersburg Moritz, Courchevel and Val-d'Isere attract the richest. Some billionaires own luxury chalets worth tens of millions of dollars, which are rented for up to 40,000 USD/week during peak season.

Quieter areas such as Crans-Montana (Switland) or Kitzbühel (authern Italy) are also popular, especially for those who want to avoid the curious eyes of the public.

In the US, Aspen is considered the capital of the super-rich. This is where residents with assets of $30 million or more are concentrated with the highest density in the US. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Rihanna often appear here during the holidays.

The town is not only famous for its mountains and high-class skiing experiences, but also for its restaurants, luxury stores such as Prada, Gucci and resorts such as St. Regis.

Although the majority of billionaires choose lavish destinations, sometimes they take their vacations in a simpler way. A customer of Knightsbridge Circle organized a Disney World trip for his family. However, with high-end amenities and services, this "sure" vacation still costs about 75,000 USD (nearly 2 billion VND) for a few days.
