Few acknowledge the power of networking and leverage their community as well as HNIs and UHNIs. Composing only ~0.001% of the global population but holding more than 1/3rd of the global wealth, the ultra-wealthy are unsurprisingly a tight-knit, global, and exclusive community. Naturally, serving such an affluent group requires curation of the finest experience. From sailing in the most luxurious yachts to cheering from the best seats at niche sporting events, every year, there is a selection of premium events that happen in different corners of the world and are attended by the world’s most wealthy. Apart from the enchanting experience, these events offer networking opportunities and often become the playground for significant business conversations.
