Vacations for the uber-rich: a stark reminder of income inequality
There is a heli-ski operation in Old Remo, just outside of Terrace, that has been raising some controversy over the past few weeks.
And seriously, if you can afford to fork over $199,999 for a 10-day vacation, is that one dollar really the breaking point?It’s being targeted at the super-rich, but you wouldn’t even really have to be. The 10-day package is only $3,999.98 per person per night. The four-night package is even cheaper at $3,999.95.
But it’s also not obscene. Let’s say you’re an avid snowboarder or skier whose bucket list vacation is to carve some of the greatest backcountry snow in the world. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience like that, which includes staying in the lap of luxury at a $15 million mansion with gourmet food and helicopter access to some of the most pristine wilderness on the planet, 20 grand is not entirely unreasonable.
Nevermind Old Remo, though, if you want really ostentatious and are short on time, you can board a private Gulfstream jet in Cape Town, South Africa, fly to Antarctica, explore for a few hours, dine on a champagne dinner and be back to manicuring your toenails and having your butler exercise your prized Arabian for you in less than 24 hours for only $195,000.
