The summer season has begun and most normal families are planning their vacations for the year. Most of us manage to save enough each year to take our families to places away from our homes for fun and travel for at least a few days annually. But, some people do not have to worry about the dates on the calendar, the balance in the savings accounts, and the vacation days they have saved with their employer. Some people can travel wherever, and whenever they please.
We are going to share with you some of the wonderful places that the ultra-rich enjoy traveling to and renting out when they are looking for a place to completely relax and recover from the pressures of life.
Who rents these extravagant places?
As we work through our list you will see that most of the luxurious places rent for close to ½ million dollars per month. As you would expect, these facilities are usually rented to kings and queens, presidents, heads of nations, and other people of high position and standing.
Famous movie stars and sports stars will often rent these facilities for weddings and honeymoons. Superstars in any genre will feel comfortable having their guests stay in locations with every luxury known to man.
Other renters sometimes include people who have come into large amounts of money quickly. This would include someone who has inherited money they were not expecting, and perhaps people who have won the lottery. Let’s look at some of these locations.
