The State of Wealth, Luxury and Yachting Report
Wealth-X and Camper & Nicholsons will review highlights from their first-of-its-kind report on the world’s ultra wealthy and the luxury yachting sector. The report, “The State of Wealth, Luxury and Yachting”, focuses on the rapidly changing face of luxury, with a new, younger generation of ultrahigh net worth (UHNW) individuals who are increasingly focused on pursuing rare, tailored experiences over accumulating replicable “things”. To understand the pursuit of luxury among this elite demographic, Wealth-X analyzed data from over 200,000 UHNW individuals – defined as those with a minimum net worth of US$30 million – globally.
