The apex scene of HBO’s Succession season three premiere played out as the Roy family conspired by cell phone—at cruising altitude—aboard their separate private jets, wrestling for control of their vast corporate empire. As the gripping, snappy dialogue escalated, aviation nerds took to social media to question the viability of such silky smooth cellular connectivity at 50,000 feet. The Gulfstream G800 lays such speculation to rest. We’ve clearly entered the next golden age in the world of private jets. The new G800 flies farther faster than any aircraft ever produced by the company, while boasting impressive, next-gen connectivity for both cockpit and cabin. Because when it comes to Roy sibling backstabbing, nothing cuts like cunning calisthenics delivered via Voice Over Wi-Fi. For commercial flyers who’ve hit snags retrieving emails (even…

As a Victoria’s Secret runway model, Gizele Oliveira is wearing a much lighter wardrobe these days than when she began modeling at age 16. That was back in Vila Velha, Espirito Santo, Brazil, where she used to try on wedding dresses in her uncle’s shop, later modeling them for the locals. “I loved it!” she recalls. “I always loved being in front of the cameras since I was little. And even though I was super shy I was somehow comfortable taking photos. I did a couple bridal shoots and runway shows for him in my hometown and I realized that this was what I wanted.” A couple of years later she was in a shopping mall watching the local runway shows when she was scouted by My Mother Agency. She…

It’s no surprise that a woman like Anna-Lisa Christiane would one day find herself strutting runways in New York and Paris, but addressing the U.N.? At the age of 19? Didn’t seem like it was in the cards. And yet there she was in Austria discussing climate change with an august body of world diplomats. “If I could speak at the U.N. at 19, if I could travel to Austria or Thailand alone at this age and have such a great time, what else can I do?” she asks, reflecting on a transformative experience that came as a result of her winning the title of Miss Earth 2015, a beauty pageant that advocates for environmental awareness, conservation and social responsibility. “After the pageant I felt like I was really confident…

“THE DBX707 IS A SABER IN A SEGMENT OF SLEDGEHAMMERS” It’s one of the most iconic car-chase scenes in the famed franchise, not to mention the entire genre: Roger Moore as 007 with Bond Girl Barbara Bach escaping the baddies in an amphibious Lotus Esprit Turbo, in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me. Whilst watching Bond pursued by multiple vehicles, including a motorcycle complete with a missile launcher disguised as a sidecar, and a similarly-equipped helicopter, one can’t help but notice the unusually beautiful scenery flying past. No accident, that, as the location was Sardinia’s stunning Costa Smeralda, with Bond and his babe setting out from the legendary Hotel Cala di Volpe. Fast forward 45 years, and that Lotus belongs to a certain Elon Musk, while mid-size crossover SUVs have…

There are hypercars, and then there are hypercars. While most are designed from the whiteboard to stir the imagination, not to mention the loins, witnessing the Czinger 21C roll towards us stimulates something completely different. Not two minutes from exiting the helicopter that flew us to the hot pavement of the Thermal Club, the 21C makes its eyebrow-raising debut: maybe it’s the way the silver skin gleams under the torrid Palm Springs sun—its voluptuous wheel arches, vast wing and aero bits catching the light and bending it to form. Or perhaps more likely it’s the 21C’s unique seating layout: central, its greenhouse glass splitting the hypercar in half. Inside, twin seats bolt one behind the other, like a fighter jet. Suddenly you’re reminded of how this spaceship was built. Didn’t…

The world today is awash in entrepreneurs. Ambitious people who are willing to risk their own time and money, motivated to create a successful business and reap the subsequent rewards. But not all entrepreneurs truly possess the entrepreneurial spirit, the inner drive that compels the individual to constantly work towards these goals, an unstoppable force confidently seeking out an immovable object to overcome. It’s the type of attitude that feeds the birth and growth of the world’s most successful and impactful companies and creates billionaires of their founders and investors. It’s the type of attitude that underpins much of the American Dream. It’s the type of attitude that, in 1973, led a precocious young boy named Michael Dell to investigate potential high school equivalency exams in an attempt to move…

My wallet now contains dozens of Bahamian Benjamins, with a picture of a very perky pre-jubilee Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an enormous sailfish on the other. The result of a helpful sign at a bank on Freeport indicating the smallest note available was $100, and me assuming that must be small change. In the context of what I was in the Bahamas for, it certainly was. Fresh off the plane from London, I’d spent a day inhaling caffeine and Domaine Michel Lafarge at Balthazar in Manhattan before heading to the Bahamas to hop into a 52-foot, flame-red, 2,700 horsepower, dual Mercury-engined twin-hull Mystic powerboat, with Cocaine Cowboys overtones and numerous Guinness Book of World Records entries to its name. Capable of reaching an insane 165 mph on…

It has an alien allure, the southern coast of Iceland. As you stand amid emerald fields tinted with wildflowers you wonder where the trees are? They were chopped down by Vikings 1,000 years ago. And where are the animals? Other than livestock there’s practically none. Empty acres of farmland, horizons as wide as the Mojave, but green not brown, and cold, not hot. It’s a place so desolate that Neil Armstrong trained here for his historic moonwalk. It’s where the sun stays up later than you, and boulders are inhabited by elves; not the cute Santa’s helper kind, but the Lord of the Rings warrior kind that steals your children and wreaks havoc. But strangest of all, it’s where they actually take the Eurovision Song Contest seriously. And if all…
