The Billionaire’s Social Calendar: 2024 Event Calendar for the Ultra-Wealthy

There are exactly 2,640 billionaires in the world, according to the CEOWORLD magazine. That’s about 0.00003% of the global population. The Billionaires’ Social Calendar comprises various events, festivals, and conferences that are attended by some of the wealthiest individuals in the world. Although there is no official calendar, this list includes events where the ultra-rich mingle primarily with each other.

The picturesque island of St. Barts is a favorite holiday destination for billionaires, boasting more ultra-rich visitors per square foot than any other place in the world, including Aspen and Maldives. The Caribbean island, also known as Saint-Barthélemy, is known for its extravagant year-end festivities, which have attracted the most luxurious yachts owned by the likes of David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Diane von Furstenberg, as well as Bernard Arnault, in previous years.

After their New Year’s Eve celebrations, many billionaires attend the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos to network and discuss global issues while enjoying the Swiss Alps. For most billionaires, the purpose of this calendar is mainly for business travel and meeting professional contacts rather than attending the nominal event.

Billionaires, like everyone else, seek out friends who share similar interests, skills, and lifestyles. However, what sets them apart is their vast social networks that often include other ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals and even other billionaires. On average, a billionaire’s network consists of 12 additional UHNW individuals, including 5 other billionaires. Travel is the second most popular interest among billionaires after philanthropy, with 31% of them either engaging in or considering travel-related activities. Here is a list of the most favored worldwide destinations on the traditional social events calendar of many billionaires and the ultra-wealthy. This is where billionaires socialize, discuss business, and unwind.
