You’ve always been ambitious so here’s your top spot to score a coveted invite this summer. Or if you plan ahead, for winter, as it’s also the most exclusive ski resort in the world. This is where the likes of Tom & Giselle, Bill & Melinda, Justin & Jessica – you know, all the peeps you’re on a first name basis with — vacation.
The Property: The Yellowstone Club, Big Sky, Montana
Who:
Bill and Melinda Gates (in better times), Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady, to name a few. While we’re at it, there’s a slew of tech guys, including Google Founder Eric Schmidt. Then there’s a whole host of private people, who you can’t even google on Mr. Schmidt’s search platform. You know this is the most exclusive ski resort in the world with this roster of home owners. It’s also one of the top places to stay out West.
Why:
It’s often the most unassuming, low-key and gracious person at the dinner table, who is the most successful. That pretty sums up Yellowstone Club, whose membership is made up of the real hitters who have made it in life. They come to this remote 15,200 acre piece of God’s country at the base of the Rockies in Montana to be normal. Or as normal as an average billionaire can be in homes that range from around $4 mil to $40 mil.
The ski slopes are some of the best in the country. You’d expect that though those who can fork over the $400k initiation fee and around $42k annual dues. Yellowstone Club is the only private residential ski mountain and golf course in the United States, and the world. Everything here is done behind closed doors, and away from the paparazzi. The paps couldn’t get in anyway, as the security is run by former secret service officers. Yet another reason it’s the most exclusive ski resort in the world.
