Under the Influence with Terry O'Reilly · Billionaire Tourism for the Super Wealthy · 25 Jul 2026 podcast

They're not looking for luxury.

They experience that all the time.

They're looking for adventure, exclusivity, and danger.

A very seductive cocktail for the 0.01%.

That desire for rough luxe has only increased since the pandemic.

For example, the waiver passengers had to sign before boarding the Titan mentioned the word death three times on page one.

The Titan was also bolted shut from the outside, not the inside, so the passengers had no way of escaping from the submersible until it successfully surfaced.

The slim margin between safety and mortal danger is part of the adrenaline rush.

One company arranges trips to scale Mount Vinson in Antarctica.

Billionaires fly in on their private jets with friends, then they battle the brutal weather conditions to climb the mountain.

It can cost up to $200,000 each.

Some want to climb the northern ridge of Mount Everest's death zone.

Some want to dive off their yachts and swim with great white sharks.

And if you think that's extreme, wait until you hear some of the requests these high-end tourism companies have to deal with.

One couple wanted to spend the night on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

The high-end tourist agent had to haggle with the French ministry to get permission for the sleepover, for starters, then spent months hassling French architects to construct the virtually invisible all-glass suite.

As a final touch, a $20,000 bottle of Krug champagne from the year the couple was married was waiting on ice in their room.

A New York family of six wanted private access to the Sistine Chapel so they can enjoy Michelangelo's stunning artwork all to themselves.

Their luxury concierge managed to secure the key to the chapel for a cost of $75,000.

Another wealthy family requested a Hollywood cinematographer who had filmed blockbusters like Star Wars and Interstellar to film the family on their six-week sailing vacation through the Indonesian islands.
