Swiss Alps Vaults for the Ultra-Wealthy: A Hidden Fortress of Luxury Storage

Brünig Mega Safe AG is carving a 20-vault underground complex beneath the Swiss Alps near Lungern, burying spaces more than 100 meters deep. Each 99-year lease starts around CHF 1 million, offering heavily fortified storage for valuables like Ferraris, gold, art, and wine, with multiple security checks and owner rights such as parcel-number registration and mortgage options; the facility is expected to open next year amid mixed local reaction and a nod to Switzerland’s tradition of secure vaulting.

Home at Sea: Why Ultra-Wealthy Are Living Aboard Full-Time

A growing subset of ultra-wealthy yacht owners are choosing to live aboard year-round, turning private megayachts into floating homes. Fueled by pandemic-era shifts, Remote work with high-speed internet like Starlink, and advances in marine technology, these owners seek the flexibility and travel of life at sea without sacrificing home comforts. Yacht designers are responding by prioritizing home-like interiors, stabilization, hybrid propulsion, and ample living spaces, with examples like bespoke mega-yachts and semi-custom models featuring full appliances, wellness spaces, and personalized touches. While maintenance and energy/water management pose ongoing challenges, industry sources anticipate this trend will continue to reshape yacht design and sales, treating vessels more like floating real estate than mere toys.

Manhattan luxury real estate stays resilient despite pied-à-terre tax

Despite New York’s pied-à-terre tax, Manhattan’s luxury market remains strong: June saw 126 contracts for $4M+, the second-quarter average price hovered around $2.2M, and sales of $10–20M and above $20M surged, helped by very low inventory (about a 40% year-over-year drop) and cash-rich buyers fueled by IPOs and rising asset values. Initial tax fears faded as buyers returned in late spring, though law firms expect years of litigation and unclear long-term effects.
