The Q2 issue of Worth celebrates luxury, legacy, and the shifting currents of wealth, culture, and power. Inside, our writers deliver sharp, essential storytelling on the people and brands reshaping how we live, travel, and invest in the future.
On the art front, Senior Editor Eva Crouse debuts her new column, Palette and Patron, an inside look at the intersection of money and creativity. The inaugural piece spotlights land artist Ulrike Arnold, whose raw, elemental canvases have become collector catnip. Crouse also delivers a deeply reported feature on the economic and real estate aftershocks of the January wildfires in Los Angeles, examining how the disaster reshapes access to luxury neighborhoods like Pacific Palisades.
In automotive, Tim Stevens returns with his signature column, this quarter featuring Mercedes-Benz and what the iconic brand’s latest models reveal about the future of luxury performance.
Our travel coverage spans the globe, from the remote desert luxury of the Amangiri resort in Utah to the eco-luxury paradise of the Four Seasons Papagayo in Costa Rica. We also spotlight Virtuoso Travel’s newest itinerary through India—designed to make one of the world’s most daunting destinations accessible through a fully curated, high-touch experience. Virtuoso’s itinerary offers an elevated, seamless way in for travelers looking to check India off their bucket list.
In watches, we trace the legacy and precision behind A. Lange & Söhne, exploring how the storied German brand helped shape the country’s watchmaking reputation.
In food and drink, contributors Jonathan Russo and Deborah Grayson report on how regenerative agriculture reshapes the wine industry. Their story profiles leading winemakers, including Château Cos d’Estournel in Bordeaux, Gut Oggau in Austria, Heitz Cellars in Napa, and Bedrock Wines in California. The piece also highlights importers like Jenny & François and Skurnik Wines, certification bodies such as the Demeter Society and Regenerative Organic Certified™ (ROC), and the global movement toward more sustainable viniculture.
In money and markets, we dig into the numbers and narratives shaping the next chapter of global wealth. Drawing on insights from the Worth Millennial Report, we examine how younger generations are rethinking philanthropy—and what that means for family offices. We unpack the $84 trillion wealth transfer already underway and the strategies families use to preserve their fortunes. We also investigate how quantum computing breakthroughs—like Google’s Willow chip—are poised to reshape sectors from AI to defense. Our reporting tracks the companies leading the charge, including Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Honeywell, IonQ, D-Wave Quantum, Rigetti Computing, Nvidia, and Amazon, alongside the rise of investment vehicles like the Defiance Quantum ETF (QTUM).
In health and wellness, we look at the longevity debate between cannabis and alcohol, decode the growing electrolyte trend, and introduce readers to the Milken Institute’s new Brain Health Score—a cognitive health tool already being adopted by the ultra-wealthy.
