The Art of Timeless Luxury

Money is an illusion... On its own it's nothing, just a figure, a piece of paper or plastic. Money changes form at the whims of its owner like magic.

Money is only as intelligent as its master.

 If the illusion works well, it gives warmth, pleasure and timeless elegance and if it goes wrong it is crude,vulgar,horrid and distasteful.

You could be rich...Maybe even richer than rich but, when you use the power of your money, do you end up buying something only because it's the most expensive or limited edition? Does that make it the best?

I am not here to sell you anything or even tell you to buy anything, but I am here to just show you what your money could do..the timeless elegance of things, a service that you dreamed of or an object of desire that you didn't know existed but for which you would give an arm and leg because you know that the joy of owning it would warm your heart and live on in generations of your lineage.

Would you buy a car because it is gold plated and super expensive and then just leave it for the chauffer in the garage with maybe 50 others? Even if you are ultra rich I'm sure you would like something that makes YOU feel happy and special rather than a car or house that the neighbors say is special. When you are as rich as I hope you are, you are beyond throwing money for effect.

My objective is to bring to your notice products and services which might or might not be the most expensive in the world but will be better than the best.

The point being that money will stop being the variable and shall be assumed to be at hand and the satisfaction and happiness quotient shall be the prime driver.

Sometimes a bite of a Cadbury milk chocolate can give more pleasure than a custom made gold leaf covered Belgian truffle..

Be rich, get richer and be stylish, elegant, opulent, indulgent, and timeless but at no point think that the priciest is always the best.

It isn't and so you shall see...

I would appreciate it if you leave a comment to encourage me and drive my passion harder..

Metaluxury on High Seas - The Ultimate Yacht Experience

The real pleasure of spending time on a yacht is not in owning it but in the people you share it with.

Owning a luxury yacht has become a sort of benchmark in the ultra rich world just to announce that one has “arrived”.

Spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a very chic, fast and luxurious piece of aqua real estate seems to be a very successful ego satisfying spend. No doubt at all that it does get talked about and written about, but so do things like Driving under Influence felonies and drunken brawls.

For some it may be necessary to feel a part of the “elite” crowd by just claiming ownership of a 300 foot private luxury boat.

 But is the buying of an ultra luxurious yacht truly an intelligent way to spend your money? How many weeks in a year would you actually spend on it, unlike an expensive car, which you would probably use a lot if you love it?

Secondly, do you really want to go to the same boat again and again without experiencing the wide variety our world has to offer? Wouldn’t it get monotonous after a while? For a weeks pleasure you would spend a fortune on the upkeep and staff of the yacht and finally resort to leasing it out to other celebrities over the year to make it pay for itself.  

Do remember that it is one of the highest depreciating assets that you could spend your money on. Not exactly smart is it?

The Meta Luxury users of a yacht would just let the ego of the “owners” be satisfied and spend their money on leasing out a new yacht every six months, all in different parts of the world and enjoy a new location, a new experience, different luxury and all types of machines that are available for a fraction of the price. A new holiday, anticipation and excitement of seeing a new boat every time, like experiencing all the luxury hotels of the world without being restricted to just the one that you own.

A fact you might want to consider is that you could lease out any of the yachts shown here for a month every  year for the next 20 years and still spend less than buying one and getting bored of it in a year or two. 

You could choose from the very best of the best like the meta luxury options shown below. They are in no particular order and I will give details about each of them in further posts.

Have all the hedonistic, mind blowing parties that you want and make sure your friends enjoy with you too, but at a new venue and a new boat every time. It will be fun and ultimately that’s what life is about isn’t it? Just spending time and enjoying one’s self with the ones you love.

So you like cars….don’t you?

Fancy, Expensive, powerful and super luxurious. Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche they are all lovely, especially with custom made interiors and expensive optional toys. But they are what you might say “very popular” amongst the wealthy and rather common due to their popularity. That might really be an over simplification of my view but read on and you will understand what I mean.

Now picture this.

Red Carpet Scenario 1:

The Venue is a special event at a very exclusive club full of rich celebrities and well known personalities. The car of choice turns out to be either the Ferrari FF or the Porsche 911. Both, extremely beautiful cars and top performers too. But, when it comes to the red carpet yours is the fourth in line after the crowd have seen the same model in white and yellow color. The point being that even though both the above cars are really popular super cars but they may not necessarily be meta luxurious, they are smart and cool but not necessarily timeless and awe worthy.

In simple words… when style and panache is what differentiates between the rich and the meta rich you need to have something that makes people go “Wow!!” and not just say it but see it, feel it and ache to own it. It has to be something so attractive that its brilliance is timeless and runs through generations.

 Scenario 2:

The same venue….the same people….the same paparazzi…but a different car…

When you drive up in a meta luxurious car like the “Eagle Speedster E Type Jaguar” which looks like this….

I leave the reaction to your imagination. I hope you had the same kind of reaction too. The crowds will gather and attention will be diverted from far more expensive cars and shiny hoods. People will just walk up in admiration of this beautiful piece of machinery and believe me it has remained timelessly elegant since the day it came out.

It is not the fastest or the most expensive but it sure is smart, chic,educated luxury. A car that will come in your dreams and will live on for generations, giving warmth to the heart whenever you see it and drive it.
