Luxury Vacation Rentals for Billionaires (or Regular Folk)
September 29, 2007. When Forbes Traveler dished on the playgrounds of billionaires, we noticed something: VacationRental.org has places at those destinations. So if you're wanting to vacation like a billionaire, here are some places to check out:
Palm Beach – Celebrity rich people such as Donald Trump, Andre Agassi and Vera Wang continue a tradition that was begun in the 1920s. Palm Beach has fine sands, nice restaurants and chic shopping. And it's close to Miami. If you're regular folk, you can hire a charter boat and go deep-sea fishing. If you're a billionaire, you can hop in your yacht anytime and buzz down to the Caribbean.
Nantucket – Fidelity Investments billionair Abigail Johnson is among the social leaders of the rich on this quaint New England island. As one person put it, it's the kind of place where you can feel equally at home attending cocktail parties in an evening gown or a beachside barbecue in jeans.
Aspen – This Colorado mountain town is a second home for Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell, Inc. As Forbes put it, one can see "corporate moguls, movie stars, Internet titans and bona fide cowboys" mingle here. It's a great year-round spot, with epic skiing, fall colors, and great golf and outdoors recreation.
