在19世纪20年代的时候,住在这里的都是那些拥有特权的人们;如今在这座小岛上,聚集着大量的美国富翁,他们随意举行长达数星期的慈善舞会和无休无止的聚会。据统计,棕榈滩每500个居民就拥有一个职业管家,当然这还仅仅是保守估计。另外这里的人均乐队拥有量比本次排行榜上的其它任何地区都要高。
Palm Beach, Fla.
In the 1920s, everyone who was anyone wintered in this playground for the privileged. Today, that still holds true. America‘s wealthy converge on this slim barrier island for the season, a several-week-long stretch of glittering charity balls and endless parties. Palm Beach has one professional butler for about every 500 residents, which might almost seem low, and more orchestras per person than any place else on the list, which, given the indulgent lifestyle, might seem surprisingly high. And don‘t forget the houses: it‘s Mediterranean mansion central.
