How are global high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) spending their spare time? We explore which hobbies, services and spaces are resonating with today’s luxury consumers as they emerge from the pandemic with a heightened focus on healthy, active lifestyles, meaningful family time and edifying experiences.

Self-Betterment for the Super-Rich

Looking beyond material goods, today’s affluent consumers aspire to spiritual, emotional and intellectual growth. Imbibing knowledge from renowned academics, gaining behind-the-scenes insights and acquiring new skills are becoming prominent features in experiential luxury, including travel. Luxury wellness programming is also digging deeper, drawing on mindful artistic endeavours, New Age practices and psychedelics.

Haute Nostalgia

Memory-making, legacy and family values resonate with HNWIs in an increasingly volatile-seeming world. Although cushioned from the cost-of-living crisis, this cohort is seeking comfort in nostalgic pastimes and tangible vintage assets. There’s demand for concepts that commemorate meaningful downtime with loved ones, such as personalised professional photo albums, or even documentaries.
