Luxury & Old Money

The Luxury & Old Money desk covers the business and history behind the lifestyle — luxury goods, old money, royal families, billionaire habits — as a beat with its own real economics, not just aspirational photography. How a watch actually justifies a six-figure price tag. The hidden costs of owning a luxury home nobody mentions in the listing. What royal family coverage gets wrong about the genuinely strange institutional rules underneath it.

Where the subject is billionaire wealth specifically, we go to the actual statistics on how it was made — inherited, first-generation, or some mix — rather than the flattering or dismissive version of the story.

What you’ll find across our subcategories: Old Money, Luxury, Luxury Homes, Luxury Travel, Luxury Watches, Precious Stones, Royal Family Stories, and Billionaires.
