Summary
St. Barts, a tiny island less than ten square miles, has transformed from a secluded luxury retreat for the ultra-wealthy like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds into a dazzling celebrity playground where billionaires and tech moguls buy nine-figure villas and yacht harbors. Now, it’s sparking a fierce debate: should these global elites reshape the island entirely for their pleasure, or should locals and environmentalists have a voice in preserving its soul and natural beauty? Author Michael Gross explores how real estate reveals shifting power dynamics, as extreme wealth reshapes the island’s future—and who really gets to decide its destiny.
