00:00From Oprah Winfrey boarding her $70 million Gulfstream G650 to Rihanna indulging in a $500,000 per week Mediterranean yacht charter
00:09and Beyonce cruising the Caribbean on the Flying Fox, which costs nearly $4 million per week,
00:14these are the extravagant ways some of the wealthiest black women in the world travel.
00:18Oprah Winfrey
00:19When Oprah Winfrey moves through the world, she does so with the confidence of someone who has fundamentally changed the landscape of media and human connection.
00:27With a net worth of approximately $2.8 billion, Oprah's travel style reflects not just her incredible wealth,
00:34but her understanding of the power of presence and the importance of creating meaningful experiences wherever she goes.
00:40At the heart of Oprah's travel empire sits her Gulfstream G650 private jet, valued at approximately $70 million.
00:47This isn't just transportation, it's a mobile sanctuary that allows her to maintain her demanding schedule
00:53while preserving the energy and focus that made her a global icon.
00:56The G650, with its 7,000 nautical mile range and ability to cruise at Mark 0.925,
01:03enables Oprah to travel seamlessly between her Montecito, California estate and her Maui-Hawaii properties,
01:09a 2,500 mile journey that would be exhausting on commercial flights,
01:13but becomes a peaceful transition in the custom-designed luxury of her private aircraft.
01:17But Oprah's travel preferences extend far beyond the skies.
01:20When she seeks the ultimate in maritime luxury, she frequently charters luxury yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean,
01:27often spending between $500,000 and $1 million per week for super yachts that serve as floating palaces.
01:34When Oprah chooses to stay on land, her preferences run toward exclusive resorts like Four Seasons Properties and Amman Resorts,
01:40these properties with rates often ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per night for top-tier suites.
01:46What sets Oprah's travel apart is how it seamlessly blends her personal desires with her philanthropic mission.
01:52Her frequent trips to South Africa, facilitated by her private jet for direct flights to Johannesburg or Cape Town,
01:58aren't just personal journeys.
01:59They're commitments to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls,
02:03a testament to how she uses her resources to create lasting change while experiencing the world in unparalleled comfort.
02:10Moving from the established queen of media to one of music's most dynamic business forces,
02:14we encounter a woman who has transformed the very definition of what it means to be both an artist and an entrepreneur.
02:20Rihanna.
02:21Rihanna's journey from a teenage performer in Barbados to a global business mogul with a net worth of $1.4 billion
02:27represents one of the most remarkable transformations in modern entertainment and business.
02:32Her travel style reflects this evolution.
02:34It's strategic, purposeful and designed to support an empire that spans continents and industries.
02:40The foundation of Rihanna's extraordinary wealth lies in Fenty Beauty,
02:43valued at approximately $2.8 billion, with Rihanna owning a 50% stake.
02:48This revolutionary beauty brand, which generated $570 million in revenue in its first full year,
02:54didn't just change an industry, it created new standards for inclusivity
02:58that forced every major beauty company to reconsider their approach.
03:01This massive business operation necessitates a travel style that prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing luxury.
03:08Rihanna frequently charters Gulfstream or Bombardier jets for business trips,
03:12with costs ranging from $10,000 to $15,000 per hour depending on the aircraft and destination.
03:18These aren't extravagant indulgences, they're business necessities that allow her to oversee Fenty Beauty's expansion
03:24into eight African countries and attend strategic meetings across multiple continents within the same week.
03:29When Rihanna escapes to the Mediterranean for what appears to be leisure,
03:33it's actually a masterclass in modern business strategy.
03:35Her yacht charters along the Amalfi Coast, costing between $100,000 and $500,000 per week,
03:42serve multiple purposes.
03:43These trips generate social media content that reaches her 150.9 million Instagram followers,
03:49creating organic marketing for both Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty,
03:53while providing the relaxation necessary to maintain her creative edge and business acumen.
03:58But perhaps most tellingly,
03:59Rihanna's travel often includes trips to Barbados for events like Crop Over,
04:03maintaining her connection to her cultural roots while supporting her Clara Lionel Foundation's initiatives.
04:09These journeys, facilitated by private aviation,
04:12demonstrate how true wealth allows for the seamless integration of personal heritage,
04:16business obligations and social responsibility.
04:18Even as her empire faces challenges,
04:21Fenty Beauty experienced a challenging environment in 2024,
04:24particularly in the Chinese market.
04:26Her ability to travel efficiently between global markets remains crucial
04:30to maintaining her business relationships and identifying new opportunities.
04:34From the strategic empire building of Rihanna,
04:37we turn to perhaps the most successful musical dynasty in modern history,
04:41where artistic excellence meets business mastery.
04:43Beyonce
04:44Beyonce Knowles-Carter exists in a realm where artistry, business acumen and cultural influence
04:49converge to create something that transcends traditional notions of celebrity.
04:54With a net worth ranging from $760 million to $1 billion,
04:58Beyonce has redefined what it means to be both an artist and a global business force.
05:02The numbers behind Beyonce's wealth tell a story of relentless excellence and strategic thinking.
05:07Her Renaissance World Tour grossed $579 million across 56 shows,
05:12making it the highest grossing tour by a black artist in history.
05:16When you add the estimated $325 million generated by the Cowboy Carter Tour,
05:21it becomes clear that her travel isn't just about getting from point A to point B.
05:25It's about orchestrating global cultural events that generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
05:30This level of operation requires transportation that matches the scale of her influence.
05:34Beyonce and Jay-Z own a Bombardier Challenger 850,
05:38a $40 million jet that Jay-Z received as a Father's Day gift in 2012.
05:42The aircraft, 48.4 feet long with a 520 miles per hour top speed and 3,096 nautical mile range,
05:51features a living room, kitchen, bedroom and two bathrooms, accommodating up to 16 passengers.
05:56But they've since upgraded to an even more impressive Bombardier Global 7500 with a 7,700 nautical mile range,
06:04capable of transcontinental flights from New York to Dubai, with operating costs of approximately $8,000 per hour.
06:10When Beyonce chooses maritime luxury, the scale is equally impressive.
06:14She and Jay-Z have chartered the Flying Fox, a 446-foot superyacht, for approximately $4 million per week.
06:21This floating palace features a 12-meter pool, helipad, spa and 11 cabins for 36 guests,
06:28providing the privacy and luxury necessary for family time with Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir,
06:33while maintaining the security and exclusivity that their level of fame demands.
06:37For land-based luxury, Beyonce's preferences lean toward exclusive destinations like the one and only Riyethi Ra in the Maldives,
06:44where overwater villas can cost upwards of $2,000 to $10,000 per night.
06:48As we transition from the artistic empire of Beyonce to the political and business dynasties of Africa,
06:54we encounter a woman whose travel reflects both luxury and the responsibilities of extreme wealth.
07:00Foloruncho Alakija
07:01Foloruncho Alakija's story is one of strategic positioning, business acumen,
07:05and the transformation from fashion entrepreneur to oil industry titan.
07:09With a net worth estimated at approximately $1 billion,
07:12Alakija represents a unique form of African wealth,
07:16one built on natural resources but diversified through real estate, fashion and global investments.
07:21The cornerstone of Alakija's fortune lies in Famfa Oil Limited's 60% interest in the Agbami oil field,
07:28one of Nigeria's largest deep-water oil discoveries, producing around 200,000-250,000 barrels per day.
07:35Alakija's approach to travel reflects both her business needs and her understanding of global luxury standards.
07:41She owns a Bombardier Global Express XRS, purchased for approximately $46 million, registered to Wings of Grace Limited.
07:48This aircraft, with a range of 6,055 nautical miles and top speed of 511 knots,
07:54can accommodate up to 19 passengers and is equipped with advanced safety features and luxurious amenities
08:00that allow her to conduct high-stakes business discussions while traveling between her global operations.
08:05Her real estate portfolio tells the story of someone who understands that true wealth requires diversification across markets and currencies.
08:13Alakija owns a $102 million property at One Hyde Park in London, one of the world's most exclusive residential addresses.
08:20When Alakija travels for leisure, her preferences align with her business-first approach to luxury.
08:25She favors destinations like Dubai, staying at properties like the Ritz-Carlton,
08:29where the combination of luxury amenities and business-friendly infrastructure allows her to maintain oversight of her global operations while enjoying world-class hospitality.
08:38What makes Alakija's travel particularly significant is how it reflects her dual identity as both a business titan and a devout Christian philanthropist.
08:45Her Rose of Sharon Foundation, founded in 2008, focuses on empowering widows and orphans,
08:52and her travel often includes visits to foundation projects, blending luxury with purpose in a way that demonstrates how extreme wealth can be leveraged for social impact.
09:01From the oil fields of Nigeria to the entertainment stages of America,
09:05we now explore how inherited wealth and personal achievement combine to create unique travel experiences.
09:11Sheila Johnson
09:12Sheila Johnson's story represents the evolution from inherited wealth to self-made empire,
09:18demonstrating how strategic thinking and industry expertise can transform initial capital into generational wealth.
09:24With a net worth estimated between $850 million and $1 billion as of 2025,
09:30significantly higher than some earlier estimates,
09:32Johnson has created a hospitality empire that redefines what luxury travel means in the modern era.
09:37The creation of Salamander Hotels and Resorts in 2005 represents more than just a business venture.
09:43It's a reimagining of what luxury hospitality can be.
09:47Her flagship property, Salamander Middleburg in Virginia, sits on 340 acres and has earned Forbes 5-star ratings for its resort, spa and restaurant.
09:55Johnson's approach to travel is intimately connected to her business philosophy.
09:59She owns two business aircraft, a Gulfstream Givespie and a Piaggio Avanti II through her partnership in Project Aviation based in Virginia.
10:07These aircraft aren't just for personal use, they're integral to her business operations,
10:11allowing her to visit luxury properties across Florida, Virginia, South Carolina, Colorado, Jamaica and Anguilla,
10:17while maintaining the hands-on management style that has made her hotels legendary for their personalized service.
10:22What sets Johnson apart is her intentional approach to creating inclusive luxury.
10:27Her properties from Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida,
10:30which she purchased out of bankruptcy and revitalized with a $25 million investment,
10:35to Hotel Bennett in Charleston and Aurora, Anguilla in the British West Indies,
10:39are designed to ensure that guests, particularly people of color, feel a sense of ownership and inclusion.
10:44Her travel often combines business oversight with personal enjoyment,
10:48as she engages directly with guests at her properties, ensuring that her vision of understated elegance,
10:53sustainability and wellness is being executed at every location.
10:57This hands-on approach requires a travel schedule that can accommodate impromptu visits and last-minute changes,
11:03luxuries that her private aviation fleet makes possible.
11:06From the hospitality empire of Sheila Johnson,
11:08we move to the courts where athletic excellence has been transformed into business mastery and investment success.
11:14Serena Williams' transition from tennis legend to business mogul represents one of the most successful
11:21athlete-to-entrepreneur transformations in modern history,
11:24with a net worth estimated between $250 million and $350 million as of 2025,
11:31according to various sources, including Forbes.
11:33What transforms Serena from wealthy athlete to sophisticated business operator is Serena Ventures,
11:39her venture capital firm that has backed over 66 startups,
11:42with investments estimated to have generated $100 million to $175 million.
11:48Serena's travel style has evolved to reflect her transformation from athlete to global business figure.
11:53Her use of private jets has become both a necessity and a brand statement,
11:57as evidenced by her December 2024 Instagram posts,
12:01showing her eating a sandwich while wrapped in a blanket on a private jet,
12:04humorously captioned,
12:05Instagram vs. Reality.
12:07This moment perfectly encapsulates her approach to luxury,
12:10accessible, authentic, but undeniably first class.
12:13Her accommodation preferences reflect both her athletic background and her current status as a business mogul.
12:19Serena frequently stays at Four Seasons resorts,
12:22particularly in the Maldives and Bahamas,
12:24which offer the perfect combination of luxury amenities and family-friendly environments
12:28for travel with her husband, Alexis Ohanian,
12:31and their daughters Olympia and Adira.
12:32But it's Serena's approach to yacht travel that really demonstrates her evolution into sophisticated luxury consumption.
12:39Her July 2025 yacht vacation off the coast of Sardinia,
12:43where she was photographed with her family enjoying Mediterranean waters,
12:46shows how she's creating new family traditions that blend her athletic values with luxury experiences.
12:52The yacht featured amenities like jet ski-toed inflatables,
12:55allowing for the kind of active leisure that reflects her sports background,
12:59while providing the privacy and luxury that her wealth affords.
13:02Serena's travel philosophy seems to center on what she calls active indulgence,
13:07luxury experiences that incorporate physical activity and family bonding,
13:11rather than pure relaxation.
13:13Whether she's chartering yachts in Miami's coastal waters for quick escapes,
13:17or planning half-marathon training sessions during travel,
13:20her approach to luxury remains authentically connected to her athletic identity and competitive spirit.
13:26From the evolved luxury of Serena Williams,
13:28we transition to explore how entrepreneurial vision and business execution
13:32have created new forms of wealth and corresponding travel experiences.
13:36Janice Bryant-Howroyd
13:38Janice, Bryant-Howroyd's journey from a $1,500 startup
13:42to leading the largest privately held minority woman-owned workforce solutions company in the United States
13:48represents one of the most remarkable entrepreneurial success stories in American business history.
13:53With a net worth estimated between $420 million and $675 million,
14:00Howroyd has created a global enterprise that operates in over 33 countries
14:04and serves more than 17,000 clients.
14:07The Actone Group, which Howroyd founded in 1978 with just $1,500,
14:12has grown into a powerhouse with reported revenues ranging from $890 million to $3.4 billion annually.
14:18Howroyd's travel style reflects both her extraordinary success
14:22and her preference for discretion over ostentatious displays of wealth.
14:26Given Actone Group's global operations and her role as CEO,
14:29private jet travel becomes not just a luxury but a business necessity.
14:33When it comes to accommodations,
14:34Howroyd's preferences lean toward understated luxury at iconic properties
14:38like the Plaza in New York or Claridge's in London.
14:41These legendary hotels offer the perfect blend of sophistication and discretion,
14:45providing an environment where high-stakes business discussions
14:48can unfold alongside the kind of impeccable service that successful executives expect.
14:53The Plaza's Manhattan location offers proximity to business districts and cultural institutions,
14:59while Claridge's Mayfair address provides a sophisticated base for European operations.
15:04For personal retreats, Howroyd's travel philosophy emphasizes private villa rentals
15:08in exclusive destinations like Tuscany or the Caribbean.
15:11These choices reflect her family-oriented values
15:14and her preference for spaces where she can host intimate gatherings
15:17with her husband Bernard and their children, Brett and Catherine,
15:20who both play key roles in Act One Group's operations.
15:23What sets Howroyd apart is how her travel integrates seamlessly
15:26with her commitment to mentorship and community building,
15:29her frequent visits to universities for speaking engagements,
15:32her service on boards including North Carolina 8ANDT's Board of Trustees
15:36and Harvard's Women's Leadership Board.
15:38And her role in funding scholarships through the Janice Bryant-Howroyd Endowment
15:42all require a travel schedule that balances luxury with purpose,
15:46demonstrating how true success creates opportunities to give back
15:49while enjoying the fruits of one's labor.
15:51From the workforce solutions empire of Janice Bryant-Howroyd,
15:54we shift to the creative powerhouse who revolutionized television
15:57and redefined storytelling for global audiences, Shonda Rhimes.
16:02Shonda Rhimes has fundamentally altered the landscape of television entertainment
16:06while building a financial empire that reflects her unprecedented influence in Hollywood,
16:10with a net worth estimated at approximately $240 million,
16:14$250 million as of 2025,
16:17Rhimes has proven that creative vision,
16:20combined with strategic business thinking,
16:22can generate wealth that rivals traditional media moguls.
16:25The foundation of Rhimes' extraordinary success lies in her television empire,
16:29anchored by shows that have generated billions in revenue
16:32for networks and streaming platforms.
16:34Rhimes' travel requirements reflect the global nature of her productions
16:37and the need to maintain creative inspiration while managing a complex business empire.
16:42She frequently uses private jets for production meetings in key cities
16:46like Los Angeles, New York and London,
16:48where her Netflix projects, particularly the Bridgerton series,
16:51are developed and filmed.
16:52These aren't just business trips,
16:54they're creative expeditions that require the mental space and comfort
16:58that only private aviation can provide.
17:00Her accommodation preferences reveal someone who understands
17:03that environment directly impacts creativity and productivity.
17:07Rhimes favors properties like Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles,
17:10known for its exclusivity and lush surroundings,
17:13and Soho house locations in London, New York or Los Angeles
17:16for their creative ambience and privacy.
17:18These venues offer more than luxury.
17:20They provide the kind of inspiring, well-curated environments
17:24that feed creativity
17:25and facilitate the high-level networking necessary
17:28for someone operating at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
17:31Perhaps most intriguingly, Rhimes enjoys yacht charters in the Greek islands,
17:35providing serene environments for creative retreats.
17:38These trips allow her to disconnect from the constant demands of production schedules
17:42while maintaining the mental clarity necessary
17:44for developing new projects and storylines.
17:47The Mediterranean setting offers both beauty and isolation,
17:50creating the perfect conditions for the kind of deep thinking
17:53that has produced some of television's most compelling narratives.
17:56Rhimes travel also includes private island stays in the Bahamas,
17:59which offer complete seclusion for someone whose creative process requires uninterrupted focus.
18:05From the creative empire of Shonda Rhimes,
18:07we encounter another Williams family success story, Venus Williams.
18:11Venus Williams' transformation from groundbreaking tennis champion
18:15to sophisticated business mogul represents a masterclass
18:18in leveraging athletic excellence into diverse revenue streams and investment success.
18:23With a net worth of approximately $95 million,
18:26Venus has created a financial foundation built on much more than her historic $42.6 million in career prize money.
18:33What distinguishes Venus' wealth-building strategy is her early recognition
18:36that athletic careers, no matter how successful,
18:39require diversification for long-term financial security.
18:42Her interior design firm, V-Star Interiors, founded in 2002,
18:46has secured multi-million dollar contracts.
18:48This venture demonstrates how she's leveraged her aesthetic sensibilities and celebrity status
18:53into a sustainable business that operates independently of her athletic career.
18:57Venus' travel style reflects this evolution from athlete to business executive,
19:02while maintaining her connection to wellness and family values.
19:05Her use of private jets has become essential for managing her diverse business interests,
19:10allowing her to travel efficiently between tennis tournaments,
19:13business meetings for V-Star Interiors,
19:15and family obligations with her partner, Louis Belanger Martin, and their blended family.
19:20Her accommodation preferences demonstrate sophisticated taste
19:23that prioritizes both luxury and practical considerations.
19:27Her frequent stays at Le Bristol Paris reflect not just a preference for luxury,
19:31but strategic positioning during Paris Fashion Week for 11 business
19:34and during the French Open for tennis obligations.
19:37The hotel's rates, starting at $2,000 per night,
19:40represent a worthwhile investment for someone whose time is valuable
19:43and whose business operations require the kind of environment
19:46that facilitates high-level thinking and relationship building.
19:50For personal retreats, Venus' private villa rentals in Palm Beach serve multiple purposes.
19:55These properties, often costing $5,000 to $20,000 per week,
20:00provide seclusion near her $12 million beachfront estate
20:03while offering space for entertaining family, including sister Serena,
20:07and conducting business in a relaxed environment.
20:09Venus' yacht travel, including her $2 million yacht used for family getaways and charity fundraisers,
20:15represents her commitment to active luxury.
20:17These aren't passive vacation experiences,
20:20but opportunities to blend her athletic values with luxury amenities.
20:24Whether she's hosting fundraisers for the Equal Justice Initiative
20:27or simply creating new family traditions
20:29that reflect her evolution from individual athlete to family-oriented business leader.
20:33From the athletic excellence and business acumen of Venus Williams,
20:36we move to explore how modeling success has been transformed
20:40into diverse business ventures and sophisticated lifestyle choices.
20:44Tyra Banks
20:45Tyra Banks' evolution from supermodel to media mogul to entrepreneur
20:49represents a masterclass in leveraging cultural influence into sustainable business success.
20:54With a net worth consistently reported at $90 million from 2020 to 2025,
20:59Banks has created a business empire that extends far beyond her original modeling success,
21:04encompassing television production, real estate investment,
21:08and innovative brand development that continues to generate substantial returns.
21:12The foundation of Banks' wealth began with her groundbreaking modeling career,
21:16where she commanded up to $50,000 per day at her peak
21:19and secured a $4 million annual lingerie contract with Victoria's Secret.
21:23But it was her transition to television that truly demonstrated her business acumen.
21:28America's Next Top Model, created in 2003,
21:30became UPN's highest-rated program for its first six seasons,
21:34with Banks owning a 25% stake in the show that generated substantial revenue
21:39through syndication and international adaptations.
21:42Banks' travel style balances the demands of her expanding business empire
21:46with her commitment to family life with son York, born in 2016,
21:50and partner Louis Belanger Martin.
21:52Her use of private jets for both business and personal travel
21:54became highly visible in December 2024,
21:57when she shared Instagram posts from a private jet,
22:00humorously captioned Instagram vs. Reality,
22:03showing herself eating a sandwich while wrapped in a blanket,
22:06demonstrating her ability to maintain relatability
22:09while enjoying extraordinary luxury.
22:11Her accommodation preferences reflect someone who understands
22:14that environment shapes creativity and productivity.
22:17Banks favors properties like the Ritz Paris,
22:19known for its opulence and central location,
22:22ideal for fashion events and business meetings during Paris Fashion Week,
22:25or international brand development for her various ventures,
22:28including Smize and Dream,
22:30her boutique ice cream brand that expanded to locations in Los Angeles,
22:34Dubai, Washington, D.C. and Sydney.
22:36For personal retreats,
22:37Banks' private villa rentals in destinations like Bali and the Maldives
22:41represent her commitment to wellness-focused travel
22:43that includes Sun York
22:45and provides the kind of family bonding opportunities
22:47that busy entrepreneurial parents must actively create.
22:51These destinations, typically costing $1,000 to $10,000 per night,
22:55offer spa services, yoga facilities and private pools
22:58that support both relaxation and the health-conscious lifestyle
23:02that Banks has embraced.
23:03From the global mobility and business reinvention of Tyra Banks,
23:06we turn to explore how acting excellence has been leveraged
23:09into producer power and lifestyle sophistication.
23:12Tracy Ellis Ross
23:14Tracy Ellis Ross represents a fascinating case study
23:17in how inherited cultural capital can be transformed
23:20into independent business success
23:22and sophisticated lifestyle choices.
23:24While her net worth is consistently reported
23:26at approximately $16 million,
23:29Ross has created a travel lifestyle
23:31that maximizes luxury and cultural engagement
23:33while maintaining the authentic personal brand
23:36that has made her a beloved figure in entertainment and fashion.
23:39The foundation of Ross's wealth lies primarily
23:41in her television success, particularly her role
23:44as Dr. Rainbow Johnson in Black-ish,
23:46where she earned $60,000 per episode initially,
23:49increasing to $200,000 per episode after syndication.
23:53Over the show's eight seasons,
23:54with an average of 22, 24 episodes per season,
23:57this represented approximately $4.4 million per season,
24:01creating a substantial financial foundation
24:03that was enhanced by her six Emmy nominations
24:05and Golden Globe win in 2017.
24:08Ross's travel style reflects
24:10her sophisticated understanding
24:11of how movement through the world
24:13can serve multiple purposes simultaneously.
24:16Her preference for first-class airline travel,
24:18as noted in a 2024 Condé Nast traveler interview,
24:21emphasizes elegant, chic, sleek, and effortless experiences

25:32From the solo travel advocacy
25:34and cultural exploration of Tracey Ellis Ross,
25:37we move to explore how entrepreneurial beauty innovation
25:40has created new forms of wealth and global mobility.
25:43Lisa Price.
25:45Lisa Price's journey from creating natural hair
25:47and skincare products in her Brooklyn kitchen
25:49to building Carol's daughter into a major beauty brand
25:52represents one of the most authentic entrepreneurial success stories
25:56in the beauty industry.
25:57With an estimated net worth of $30 million to $50 million,
26:00Price has created a lifestyle
26:02that seamlessly blends business requirements
26:05with cultural exploration and family values.
26:07Price's wealth foundation began modestly but strategically
26:10when she started Carol's daughter in 1993
26:13as a hobby to address her dry skin and hair care needs,
26:16naming the brand after her mother, Carol.
26:18What transformed this kitchen-based operation
26:20into a major business was her early recognition
26:23that the beauty industry was underserving women
26:25with textured hair
26:26and her commitment to creating products
26:28that worked for this neglected market segment.
26:31Price's travel style reflects her dual identity
26:33as successful entrepreneur and cultural enthusiast.
26:36Her business requirements necessitate first-class
26:39or chartered jet travel
26:40for trips between New York, Los Angeles
26:42and international destinations,
26:44where beauty industry events, product launches
26:46and partnership meetings require her presence.
26:49Chartering a Gulfstream G650 or similar aircraft
26:52costs $10,000 to $15,000 per hour,
26:56making these significant but worthwhile investments
26:58for someone whose time and presence
27:00generate substantial business value.
27:02Her accommodation preferences,
27:04particularly stays at boutique resorts
27:06like Round Hill in Jamaica,
27:07reflect her commitment to cultural connection
27:09and authentic luxury experiences.
27:12Round Hill, with rates ranging from $700 per night
27:15for rooms to $2,000 to $10,000 per night
27:18for private villas, offers not just luxury amenities
27:21but deep connections to Caribbean culture, music and heritage
27:24that resonate with Price's commitment
27:26to celebrating black beauty and culture
27:28through her business ventures.
27:30For extended relaxation, Price's private villa rentals
27:33across Caribbean destinations like Barbados,
27:36St. Bart's or the Bahamas provide the seclusion
27:38and personalized service that allows
27:40for both genuine relaxation
27:41and continued cultural exploration.
27:44These villas, typically costing $5,000 to $20,000 per night,
27:48offer private chefs who can prepare
27:50authentic Caribbean cuisine,
27:51opportunities to engage with local artisans and markets,
27:55and the privacy necessary for someone
27:57whose business involves understanding
27:58and celebrating diverse beauty traditions.
28:01Price's travel philosophy seems to center
28:03on the idea that luxury should enhance
28:06rather than replace authentic cultural experiences,
28:09a principle that has guided both her business success
28:12and her personal approach to enjoying the wealth
28:14that success has created.
