Shall We Eat At the Burj or On An Iceberg?

By Credit Suisse’s definition, there are more millionaires today than there are Australians. These affluent individuals control about $69.2 trillion or about a third of the world’s wealth and about a half of them reside in the United States.

Likewise, the ultra rich populace is growing as well and many of these individuals can have a very difficult time spending all their money. Contrary to the classic story of the rich man who squanders away his fortune, most individuals with assets of say over $100 M can’t just simply get rid of their money. But not to worry, just hit up Ben Elliot, founder of Quintessentially, his company that caters to the rich, helping them spend their money in whatever way they find fit. Whether it be a straightforward request like booking the $18,000 a night royal suite in Dubai’s seven star Burj-Al-Arab or handling more complex requests, Elliot can have anything arranged for you. And he really has received some crazy requests; whether it be arranging a romantic dinner on an iceberg, delivering a metal detector to find your keys on the French Alps, closing the Sydney Harbor Bridge so a member can propose, arranging a party at the pyramids or airlifting a member from one part of the Amazon to another to see the rare pink dolphins, Quintessentially has rarely failed its job.

So if you become extremely rich one day and have a “special request”, you know who to call.
