Inside The Exclusive Club For The World's Wealthiest People

From the fabulously rich to the fabulously famous, this remote patch of Montana wilderness has fewer than 900 homeowners, who are worth more than a combined $290 billion.

There are 885 members of the ultraswank Yellowstone Club: 15,000 mountainous acres of world-class skiing, golfing, fly fishing and horseback riding. There is a movie theater for kids, a concert venue that has hosted acts including Sting, Norah Jones and James Taylor, and even “sugar shacks” stocked with all sorts of free stuff like candy bars, snacks and hot soups sprinkled across the mountain and greens. The club’s mountain has 21 chairlifts, one gondola, 2,900 skiable acres—and no lift lines.

Perhaps the club’s biggest draw is exclusivity. Applicants need gold-plated references and must submit to a detailed background check. Membership is capped at 914 to prevent over­crowding. Admission requires buying land, a home or a condo.
