EDITOR’S LETTER Welcome to our final issue of 2012. I certainly feel safe knowing James Bond is on the cover.

We’ll honor 007, and celebrate what we think makes the man/character so popular and iconic as his movie series celebrates its 50th anniversary.

There’s a lot inside these pages of Jetset that I know James Bond would find fascinating and useful, starting with our feature on the historic Champagne house Pommery. We pair it with an informative piece on three French award-winning master chefs, Guy Savoy, Gilles Epie and Jean-George Vongerichten, who describe the evolution of worldly influences they’ve infused into their own gourmet cuisines.

James Bond has to be able to escape in a moment’s notice, whether it’s from terrorists, Bond villains or Bond girls that he may have possibly become bored with, and we have an elite travel excursion spotlight that any secret agent would relish. The choices range from the high-energy city life of Hong Kong to a private Caribbean island to a mountaintop mansion in Central America to a secluded beach in Brazil where no one will ever find you (unless you want them to). We also showcase two of the finest luxury resort properties in Southern California, the Four Seasons Beverly Hills and the Montage Laguna Beach.

If Bond were around in a true physical sense, one photographer he’d enjoy working with is Greg Lotus, a true Renaissance man and glamorous jetsetter with an amazing portfolio and life story. And art connoisseurs will enjoy our story on the Art Basel Miami Beach, the leading art fair in the U.S., which is now in its 11th year.

Our CEO feature is on Craig Jackson, the man providing the vision and leadership for Barrett-Jackson. And our feature city in this special Bond issue is Vegas. Las Vegas.

Oh, and one last thing James Bond would really find particularly useful is our 2012 Luxury Gift Guide. If anyone can appreciate finding a one-of-a-kind glitzy gadget, it’s the one and only Agent 007.

Enjoy the issue!

PRESENTS PHANTOM COUPÉ AVIATOR COLLECTION

BY EMMANUEL LUPE / AUTOMOTIVE EDITOR

I

nspired by Charles Stewart Rolls and the legend of the Schneider Trophy-winning Supermarine S6B (powered by a Rolls-Royce R Type engine), Rolls-Royce recently unveiled the Phantom Coupé Aviator Collection. The collection celebrates the spirit of human endeavor that drove a very British hero and subsequently led Rolls-Royce to simultaneous world speed records on land, air and in the water.

Finished in Aviator Grey, the Phantom Coupé Aviator Collection features a contrasting matte bonnet, window and grille surround, while inside, the interplay of wood and metal hints strongly at a cockpit theme. A Thommen, aviation-grade clock with blood orange needle tips is embedded in the metal foil upper fascia, complemented by matte black dials for power reserve, speedometer and fuel gauges.

The lower fascia is veneered in mahogany, painstakingly shaped by craftspeople just as the early record-setting propellers were fashioned, and features Sapele contrast. Polished stainless steel veneer ‘onlays’ with bullet-shaped ends are designed to match the ϐ ϐ Ǥ Collection cars celebrate the victorious S6B aircraft with a ϐ and swage lines that echo the oil cooling veins on the S6B fuselage side.

TAKEOFF INTO THE FUTURE

FINCANTIERI’S “FORTISSIMO” SUPERYACHT A FUSION OF POWER AND ELEGANCE

BY KAREN BROST

I

t’s the kind of assignment that most design teams can only dream of: Create a turbine-powered superyacht that’s not only very large, but amazing. That’s exactly what Ken Freivokh Design and Fincantieri Yachts accomplished when they collaborated on the Fortissimo superyacht concept which measures an impressive 145 meters and is capable achieving speeds of over 35 knots.

The Fortissimo features a total of seven decks, including a sun deck, a high-visibility bridge and operational deck, a dedicated owner’s deck, a social and entertaining deck, a guest deck and a crew deck. The utility deck, which contains the galley, laundry and stores, was designed with segregated circulation routes to ensure that the crew can carry on ϐ Ǥ await the owners and their guests, and the yacht can accommodate a crew of 48. Other amenities include a see-through swimming pool and Jacuzzi and a main deck gymnasium and bar.

This futuristic superyacht also sports garages fore and aft to

house toys and tenders, including a couple of elegant 10-meter, highperformance tenders; a limo tender; and utility, sports and rescue tenders, all launched via beam cranes from sophisticated shell doors.

A critical element of the Fortissimo’s design is its rigid spaceframe system which enables full panoramic views. The design concept also acknowledges the tremendous power of the turbine installation, and integrates the powerplant as an integral part of the total design. The guest deck contains an art gallery that offers views into the machine room which is a work of art in itself.

As Ken Freivokh notes, “. . . it is essential that the design is developed in close collaboration with a truly experienced yard, and we feel privileged that our lateral thinking proposals were creatively analyzed and brilliantly resolved by Fincantieri’s in-house engineering team.”

The Fortissimo is much more than luxurious — it’s a totally unique concept that would surely turn heads on any body of water.

A TRUE TRADITIONAL CHAMPAGNE HOUSE

BY EMMANUEL LUPE

W

ith a legacy of more than 175 years, Pommery is a historic Champagne house. Founded by Monsieur and Madame Pommery in 1836, today Champagne Pommery is a label operated by Paul Francois and Nathalie Vranken as part of the larger Vranken Pommery Monopole Group. Credited with developing the “brut� Champagne as we know it, Champagne Pommery is celebrated for its avant-garde spin on tradition. Pommery is one of the top Champagne houses, producing over 500,000 cases of Champagne a year.

Located right in the heart of Reims, it is certainly one of the most beautiful champagne wine estates to visit, with its ancient Roman caves, DUW QRXYHDX WDVWLQJ URRPV DQG D VHHPLQJO\ QHYHU HQGLQJ PDJQLÂżFHQW

staircase down into the chalk caves. Its history can be traced back to the House of Dubois-Gosset, which came under new ownership in 1836. As fortune would have it, the merchant Louis Alexandra Pommery invested heavily in the house after joining it as a partner 20 years later. Although his family had no historical claim to the property, after his death control passed to his widow, Jeanne Pommery. A remarkable woman, Madame Pommery went about establishing the reputation of Pommery as a force to be reckoned with.

Jeanne Pommery worked monumentally hard to develop the house and commissioned a grand property in the late 19th century, which is notable for its eclectic mix of architectural styles. After she died, her

Champagne Pommery’s most legendary and exquisite brand, CuvÊe Louise, was launched in 1986 and named in tribute to Madame Pommery’s miracle daughter, Louise.

daughter Louise, with husband Prince Guy de Polignac, ran the house.

Their family continued running the property until 1979, after which it changed ownership several times within a few years. The LVMH group gained control in 1990, took control of the vineyards and sold the brand to the company Vranken.

Based in Reims, France, the Pommery Estate encompasses beautifully designed and landscaped buildings and gardens that fascinate both visitors and historians of art and architecture. The buildings of the 125-acre Estate are laid out in an open-plan, “H�-shaped style. This open formation goes against the architectural traditions of classic Champagne houses, revealing the brand’s innovative spirit, and more symbolically, its philosophy of breaking down barriers to let the world in.

The prestigious Pommery cellars opened on the Estate in July of 1868, and together form an underground city-like space. One monumental 116-step staircase is all that connects the cellars to the outside world.

Large bas-relief sculptures accentuate the spectacular beauty of the Estate’s vault galleries, which contain individual bottles of wine. These bas reliefs have become the stars of Pommery Estate and the highlight of today’s cellar tours.

TAKEOFF PARADISE

TAHITI

BRIMMING WITH NATURAL WONDERS ABOVE AND BELOW THE SEA

BY DOUG SINGER

etter known by the name of its main island, Tahiti, French Polynesia is a wonderland of reef-fringed islands and turquoise-blue lagoons. Comprised of 118 islands boasting high, rugged mountain peaks, coral reefs, white sand palmfringed beaches and luxurious, intimate resorts, Tahiti is considered one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Tahiti proper, the largest island in the Windward group of French Polynesia, is the economic, cultural and political center. Located on the northwest coast, Tahiti’s capital, Papeete, lays claim to the only international airport in the region. Well equipped to handle private jet travel, Faa’a International Airport is just a little over eight hours non•–‘’ Ď?Ž›‹Â?‰ –‹Â?‡ ˆ”‘Â? ‘• Â?‰‡Ž‡• ƒÂ?† ͳʹ Š‘—”• ˆ”‘Â? ‡™ ‘”Â?Ǥ Moorea, Rangiroa, Fakarava, The Marquesas and the other exquisite Islands of Tahiti cover more than two million square miles ‘ˆ –Š‡ ‘—–Š ƒ…‹Ď?‹… …‡ƒÂ?ÇĄ •’ƒÂ?Â?‹Â?‰ ƒÂ? ƒ”‡ƒ ĥ Žƒ”‰‡ ĥ ‡•–‡”Â?

Around all of the islands of Tahiti, the dramatic views continue below the water’s surface. Divers and snorkelers are amazed by the density of large marine life, steep oceanic drop-offs, sunken vessels, walls of bright coral and the vast array of smaller species.

Regular encounters that you can expect include manta rays, whose massive wingspans eclipse the passing diver, and schools of dolphin frolicking along the surface, but it is the annual parade of humpback whales have been known to astound lucky onlookers.

It may be the powder-soft white sand beaches that greet the emerald waters, or the rainbow of underworld life that animates the coral gardens, but one thing is for certain, this is one special place. Thought by many to be the most beautiful island in the world, Bora Bora certainly is at the center of the romantic universe. Incredibly seductive, this is a hedonistic playground where the rich and famous come to play and it compels many of its visitors to dream of spending their lives in this one-of-a-kind tropical paradise.

Average temperatures ranging between 70 °F and 88 °F, with little seasonal variation, provide one more reason that Tahiti is on the bucket list of many across the globe.

We asked Tahiti travel expert, Richard Bondurant, of Custom Tahiti Travel to give us his top picks for the islands’ best resorts. Bondurant advised, “Bora Bora’s St. Regis for the resort, Bora Bora’s Four Seasons for the service, Rangiroa’s Hotel Kia Ora for the diving, and Le Taha’a Island Resort for the authenticity.�

There are also many beautiful beaches to enjoy. Yacht chartering is another great way to experience St. Vincent and The Grenadines, and charter operators are readily available.

Celebrities he has worked with include Channing Tatum, Lisa Marie Presley and Katy Perry, just to name a few. His editorial work is top tiered, as well, both domestically and internationally, with the slew of distractingly gorgeous super models he has photographed for Vogue, Vanity Fair and W magazines.

“My most exciting new venture is bringing my work to art galleries,” states Lotus of his latest endeavor. He is, quite possibly, the most interesting man in the world, as I am convinced Lotus was the inspiration behind that ad campaign. This once small town boy, whose destiny changed from one chance run-in with the leading modeling scout, has taken him around the world doing what he calls his “passion.” From his home in Miami, Greg Lotus discusses with me his modest upbringing, what it takes for the perfect picture, and other developments we shall be seeing from him in the next years to come.

It was a turning point for Lotus who on that same trip was scouted by Eileen Ford of the Ford Modeling Agency. “This woman stops me on the street, and it was Eileen. So I went back to the city and started modeling.� However, Lotus quickly realized he preferred to be behind the camera instead. “I love creating images,� he proclaims.

It certainly takes more than a pretty face to create a pretty picture, and Lotus makes sure of that in his compositions, as when, for instance, he creatively juxtaposes a super model with an elephant or giraffe.

Basel How Basel Put Miami on the Art World Map

BY JOSEPH MANQUEROS/ART EDITOR

E

ach December, the art world converges on Miami and Miami Beach, two locations separated by scenic Biscayne Bay, but often simply dubbed “Miami,” for a myriad of art fairs and events. The main attraction is Art Basel Miami Beach, the United State’s leading art fair. Now in its eleventh year, “Basel” as it’s called by the culturati, has secured Miami’s status as a hotspot for million dollar art collectors.

The term “Basel” is used interchangeably to refer to three leading modern and contemporary art fairs. The original, created by gallerists in 1970, is held annually in Basel, Switzerland. Miami Beach is the second and was launched in 2002. It should have launched in 2001, but organizers delayed its debut after 9/11. The third Basel premieres in May in Hong Kong. Their parent is MCH Group, a Swiss producer of tradeshows.

The story of Art Basel in Miami began thirteen years ago with an elite cadre of local collectors who made annual art-buying pilgrimages to Basel. They included Norman and Irma Braman, Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz, Don and Mera Rubell, Dennis and Debra Scholl, Martin Z. Margulies and Ella Fontanals-Cisneros. The Bramans initially pushed for Art Basel to come to the U.S. “We’d been attending in Basel and had a close relationship with the director,” Norman Braman explains. “So, we kept asking him why not have a second fair six months after the June fair in the winter in Miami?”

As Bob Goodman, the Florida representative for Art Basel, explains, “It was appealing because it was close to so many hotels and the beach.”

The organizers recognized that the collectors had already infused Miami with world-class art. Don and Mera Rubell had opened the Rubell Collection in 1993. Martin Z. Margulies opened The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse in 1999. After Basel began, the others followed suit. The Scholls opened World Class Boxing; the Cisneros’s launched the CIFO Foundation and the de la Cruz Collection opened. The Bramans’ collection remains private, but they open it during Basel for art world visitors and fundraisers.

Basel and Miami were a match made in heaven for economic and demographic reasons, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They entered Miami at the right moment,â&#x20AC;? says Noah Horowitz, managing director of The Armory Show, as well as an expert on the international art market and the author of Art of the Deal: Contemporary Art in a Global Financial Market.

Basel galleries are globally-recognized brands, but the fair positions them directly in front of new clients. As Warren points out, “It provides a global audience. There are a lot of people that don’t come to New York.”

According to Horowitz, “Fairs play an important role in how galleries plan their annual events and are an important complement to the overall gallery program. A gallery can reach 50,000 to 60,000 people in a short time frame, and because of the temporal aspect, there’s a strong call to action.”

Art Basel is the world’s ultimate juried art fair, so the exhibitor application process is extremely competitive. Goodman explains, “The selection committee meets for a week in April and of the over 800 applications we receive, they select approximately 250 galleries.”

Fredric Snitzer, who operates a Miami gallery that bears his name and who has served on the selection committee since the fair began, likens it to applying to the Ivy League. “This is the highest standard of measure for contemporary art galleries,” he says. “Does that mean that every single gallery is the best? No, in the same way that not every student at Yale is the best. But the committee works hard to create the best contemporary art fair in the world and competition is an important aspect.”

ENTREPRENEURSHIP Our Kids’ Future Six Important Lessons We Need to Teach Them

BY KEN MCELROY

E

very year, over 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone. That’s a student every 26 seconds — or 7,000 a day. These dropouts make up nearly half the heads of households on welfare. U.S. high school dropouts also commit about 75 percent of crimes.

There is no question that we need a complete transformation of our public education system so that children can graduate high school and be competitive in the job market. The current system is no longer providing adequate basic life and working skills to our children. Changing this system is a massive undertaking; it is far easier if we bypass it altogether.

It is time to take control of this situation individually. We can make a difference by working with one child at a time.

If you don’t know where to begin looking for a mentor for your child, you can start with a mirror. It should go without saying that parents need to take an active role in their child’s education, but now, it’s more important than ever to be a positive role model for your child as well to inspire them to learn and be creative. By not communicating with your kids, you run the risk of having them struggle in school with grades and behavioral problems. Our kids look up to us as parents, and it’s our job to set the bar.

Mentors come in all shapes and sizes; practically anyone who’s willing can serve as one. As more resources are taken away from our schools, the role of mentors becomes more crucial to a child’s learning and self-esteem. It may take years for true education reform, and even longer to start seeing results. The longer we put education on hold, the greater the achievement gap will grow. Don’t Ȅ ϐ right path.

The next question is, “Should we be educating kids, or preparing them for college?” I think there are a lot of students who aren’t looking to go to college. Teachers and schools shouldn’t be judged on where the kids go to college, but on whether they are helping students with basic life skills or achieving their goals in life, which for some might mean getting into a trade profession after they graduate school.

You may or may not have come across the most watched talk on TEDtalks, which is Ken Robinson, an Englishman, talking about education. It is well worth watching as he is very engaging, but his point is simple and effective: Schools kill creativity. We have a system which suits some people and tries to push people in more or less the same direction.

For example, if you were an “A” student, you most likely succeeded in high school because you delivered what the system wanted. You had good memorization skills. Children are still ϐ Ǥ programmed to learn and memorize facts instead of becoming independent thinkers. “A” students are often not the type of people to buck the status quo and create something new. They’re not eminent mold-breaker types. Face it, in school you’ve got to do what the teacher tells you, and if you do, then your ability to be compliant gets you a good grade.

Letting your children be creative, independent thinkers at an early age will result in more income, more opportunities DQG VHOI FRQ¿GHQFH LQ WKHLU OLYHV If you want to steal a child’s love of a topic, make it mandatory for them to follow precise guidelines of what they have to know and then punish them if they have a different perspective or challenge what is being said and taught. This can result in a child growing up believing that they are not clever, useful or good enough.

ϐ Ǥ ǡ everyone needs the same thing — a sense of self-esteem. I think that’s the single most important ingredient, and the one that both teachers and parents can unknowingly steal from their kids.

“Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of man.

- John Steinbeck, from his book East of Eden

Independence is a trait that is rarely appreciated in the classroom.

Independent children can be stubborn. They can forget details, challenge the teacher, question the rules. They can be disorganized and impulsive. Yet the qualities that drive teachers crazy catapult these children to fantastic heights.

The question we all should be asking ourselves is, “Who is educating our children and are they making a difference?”

With the current breakdown of the educational system, there has never been a more important time for teachers, parents, mentors and coaches to teach life skills such as leadership, entrepreneurship ϐ Ǥ Letting your children be creative, independent thinkers at an early age will result in more income, more opportunities and self ϐ Ǥ

Chamber Foundation and Junior Achievement got essentially the same responses from high school students in a nationwide study.

Entrepreneurship forces children to think “outside of the box,” create unique solutions and lead others. Financial education will ϐ Ǥ Entrepreneurs and the small business owner are a vital part of the economy. They are well thought of as the “risk takers,” but clearly are the heartbeat of every nation. Without entrepreneurs opening businesses, there is no employment for other people. Every large business started out as a small business.

It is now widely accepted that effective entrepreneurship education must be built around real-world experiences, not textbooks. The problem is that teachers rarely have entrepreneurial experience — or the right mindset, anyway. Even if they could,

In 1962, John Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for literature, and in his book East of Eden, he said, “Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.”

Decades of research have shown that students are very interested in being their own bosses. In the ‘90s, for example, a Kauffman Foundation study found that two-thirds of high school students wanted to become entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the same study found that more than 80 percent felt they had not learned anything about entrepreneurship in school. In 2011, the National

K-12 curriculum is tied to government funding. It has always been ϐ any discipline, and it is especially hard to do so now because of state and federal requirements. Ǥ ϐ Ǥ heard the phrase, “it takes a community to raise a child.” Well, I am urging you to step up in your own family or your local community.

We can all pitch in by helping others. It does take a village, to work with the family, to raise a child and weather the storms of life. If we want that kind of support, the place to begin is with ourselves.

Community, like charity, begins at home.

The entrepreneurial mindset causes kids to depend on themselves for their own success, which leads to well-rounded adults and future leaders.

HERE ARE SIX THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE TEACHING EVERY KID: 1. Teach failure In school we were all taught that failure is bad.

GAMBLING

BY BARRY L LABOV ABOV

E

ntrepreneurs are often viewed as high-risk, gambling daredevils. It sounds great, even exotic, to be described that way. But the truth is, most entrepreneurs are not gamblers at all.

I’ve owned and/or run a half-dozen businesses and have known scores of entrepreneurs. We do things that appear to be aggressive and risky, but we don’t easily contemplate throwing down the money and resources we’ve worked so hard to earn at the chance to double or triple them. We just don’t roll the dice and hope to win. Hope is not a word used by entrepreneurs.

For over a year, I turned down what ended up being the most pivotal opportunity my company would ever receive because it appeared to be a gamble. A large corporate client of ours asked us to buy their marketing department. They wanted me to pay a small sum of cash for their assets, which included computers, cameras and various media production supplies.

They had a staff of six employees, who surprisingly, they did not expect me to hire (but I felt morally obligated to, so their compensation had to be added to the cost of the venture). In return for that, my company would be promised three years of business with them. That promise of business was lucrative. But it felt like a gamble to me; I was uneasy.

I was worried that perhaps my company was not suited to do this work as it was a little out of our scope at the time. I felt the relationships we had with other agencies in our area would be damaged, as this would make us a competitor to them. I laugh when I tell this story, because I sarcastically say this should illustrate what a great visionary I was — I turned them down time and time again. I even connected the client with companies in the area that could easily absorb the assets and business. Yet the client came back to me.

“Entrepreneurs will take risks, but they do so knowing they can count on themselves, not lady luck.”

ǡ ϐ Ǥ He said, “I’m calling to ask you to buy our marketing department. We’ve talked with other companies in the area and we still prefer you. Will you reconsider?” Uncomfortable, I asked, “Why do you keep coming back to us? Why do you want us instead of the other companies?” Then he gave a response that changed everything. He replied, “Because we trust you.”

Hearing that statement changed my mind; the gamble was no longer a gamble. It was a risk, but not a crazy one. Instead of feeling that the client was trying to dump assets and save a little money down the road, they made it clear to me that this was about trust, not cold, hard cash. It told me that this was a chance for my company to expand our capabilities and our relationship with the client. Sure, it would take a lot of work. We’d have to learn new things, and yes, maybe a few local companies would have their nose out of joint over this, but I could handle that.

I told the client, “Yes, let’s do it.” I could tell he was surprised and relieved. All of what I hoped and feared did indeed happen.

There were several agencies in my area that were livid over my company taking on this marketing department and becoming a fullservice advertising agency. A few of them threatened to never work with me again (that was all right with me, I was tired of waiting six months for them to pay me the $300 they owed me, anyway).

I did absorb their staff, and in short order, found they were not particularly interested in working for us and they soon dispersed.

Much, if not most of the equipment we purchased was outdated and useless. But, there were many upsides.

We changed the course of our company overnight because we then had the capabilities to do advertising, marketing and training.

We built a long-lasting relationship with the client that spanned far beyond the initial three-year agreement. Our new status attracted new employees as well as new clients to our company. We began a decade of amazing growth.

Looking back, it was almost a joke to think I’d almost turned this down. But at the time it was a very real concern. When it felt like a gamble, I couldn’t pull the trigger. When it became a calculated

That’s how entrepreneurs think. They will take risks, but they do so knowing they can count on themselves, not lady luck. I have enjoyed going to Las Vegas to play golf, see some great shows and attend clients’ conventions, but I’ve never traveled there to gamble. I like to feel some control over the outcome of what happens to me. Life has plenty of moments when you are not in control. Entrepreneurs ϐ ǡ and talent to the various opportunities in front of them.

Look at the number of “lucky” people who have won their state’s lotteries. A high percentage of them end up bankrupt within only a couple of years. Maybe they weren’t prepared for the success.

Maybe they didn’t feel they earned it. Maybe others around them wanted a piece of their pie. Maybe that one windfall of cash was just too much. When you run a business and invest yourself in a risk that you feel is worth taking, you also realize that it will be a hard fought ϐ Ǥ ǯ you put in or the dedication that is needed.

But, if you show me an opportunity that makes sense, that could be fun, that will be a great long-term investment of time and resources, it’ll be tough for me to pass by.

Now that’s something you can bet on.

"There is so much more to asset protection planning than the statement, “You don't need it because you have insurance.”

- Garrett Sutton, Esq.

SUTTON: You are absolutely correct on this point, Robert. It is clear that a certain percentage of these lawsuits are based on nothing more ϐ a targeted defendant. It is in this milieu that the predators operate.

To help combat such legally permitted takings, the concept of Asset Protection, the legal techniques of protecting one’s assets from predators, was born. Asset protection is based on the principle that since assets held in your name (minus a few exceptions) can easily be seized by a judgment creditor, assets not held directly in your name (but rather in select limited liability entities) are better protected. The laws of several states in the U.S. offer excellent protections from predators.

By using asset protection techniques, you are placing roadblocks in front of the predators. Some of these roadblocks are very real, and some are perceived. However they arise, the more roadblocks the better.

KIYOSAKI: I can’t tell you how many people have said to me, “All you need is insurance.” That is what the poor and middle class think: A one-sizeϐ Ǧ Ǥ ǫ SUTTON: Insurance is never enough. Of course, as part of your overall ǡ Ǥ ϐ line of defense is a good insurance policy. I always suggest that my clients obtain an umbrella insurance policy which extends past their regular home and auto policy to other areas of risk.

But then again, insurance companies have an economic incentive not to cover every claim. This is why asset protection and limited liability entities are the second line of defense. If your insurance does not cover you, you need to have your asset protection road blocks in place. After you’ve been sued, it’s too late to either get insurance or set up your asset protection plan.

You need to be protected from day one.

To those who have heard (probably from an insurance agent) that you only need insurance and not asset protection: Beware! If you haven’t set up the second line of defense and your insurance doesn’t cover the full amount of the claim, you are classically unprotected. A $5 million jury verdict and a $2 million insurance policy means that the predators are going to come after you for the remaining $3 million. Will they get at it easily because everything is in your individual name? Or will they struggle (and eventually give up or settle for pennies on the dollar) because you are protected with limited liability companies (or LLCs), corporations, and an irrevocable trust?

It is your decision to make. But with all due respect to the excellent insurance executives out there who work to minimize their clients’ risk, please do not base your decisions about the law of asset protection on the salesmanship of an insurance agent working on commission. There is so much more to asset protection planning than the statement, “You don’t need it because you have insurance.”

KIYOSAKI: Like many newlyweds, my wife Kim and I started with nothing, but had big plans. As our wealth grew via our business and real estate investments, we began hearing about “asset protection” from seminars we would attend. The problem is, we did nothing.

One day, a tenant from one of our apartment houses knocked on our door. He was tired of talking to our property manager and came straight to our home. His child had tripped on the sidewalk of the apartment house we owned (in our name) and he wanted us to pay the medical expenses. And we did.

That incident with the tenant reminded us that we were no longer poor or middle class. If we had not taken action years ago and put in place our asset protection structures, my wife and I could have lost everything.

It is one problem to be rich. It is an additional problem to be rich and relatively famous. After Rich Dad Poor Dad became a New York Times and international bestseller for over a decade, we became bigger targets for predators.

“The lesson for this article is: If you are rich or planning on becoming rich, you need a different level of insurance.”

SUTTON: On this point I disagree, Robert. By using the right combination of asset protection and privacy strategies, we can minimize your exposure. First of all, if assets are in your individual name, you are much more of a target for the predators. Why? Because they can easily reach your assets held in your name. And you should know that a living trust offers no asset protection. Despite the claims of some living trust promoters, your assets in a living trust are just as exposed to predators as those in your individual name. This is the truth in all 50 states.

There are two types of attacks. If a tenant falls and sues you over your real estate, that is called an inside attack. Their claim allows them to reach the holder of the real estate. If that is you as an individual (or your living trust) they can get not only the real estate in your name but everything else held in your name. Yes, everything!

If, instead, the real estate is in an LLC, they can get an equity in the property (if your insurance doesn’t fully cover the claim) but they

are made? Then they wait. And most contingency-fee attorneys (whereby the attorney only collects when they receive money) do not like to wait. They want the quick insurance payout. They do not want to have to hire an attorney in Wyoming to go to court to get a charging order so they can wait for payment.

So knowing that this is how the system works, what are you going to do?

Yes, you will have insurance. But you will also work with an asset protection attorney to structure your defenses, to put up your road blocks. It is not all that hard or expensive to do so. (And beware of those who claim their form of asset protection will cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Asset protection is nowhere near that expensive to put in place.) The hardest part is to not put it off.

can’t get beyond the LLC. You’ve sealed off any further attacks against other assets.

Next is the outside attack. If you get sued for a car wreck, for example, this is called an outside attack. It has nothing to do with your real estate or other assets. The predator gets a judgment and wants to reach what you own, if their claim exceeds the insurance coverage.

If your real estate and brokerage assets are held in LLCs (even more so than corporations) you are going to present a challenge for them. By using strong asset protection like they have in states like ǡ ϐ ȋ ǣ the predator) is only entitled to the charging order remedy. This means they can’t force a sale of the asset but can only receive any distributions from the LLC you may make. What if no distributions

ϐ ǡ require an attorney who specializes in asset protection, insurance for the rich.

That is why I am grateful to the tenant who knocked on our door asking only for medical expenses. He was our wake-up call, letting us know that we were no longer middle class people. We were moving into the twilight zone of the rich and needed to prepare accordingly.

In closing, all three economic classes face threats from different types of predators. As this global crisis stagnates the world economy, ǡ ϐ search of a healthy host to suck blood from. Don’t be a rich, healthy host who forgot mosquito repellent. And always remember, “You cannot buy insurance after ϐ Ǥdz

Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the actors portraying Bond seem to wear the classic black and white formalwear with the ease of a t-shirt or comfortable pair of pajamas. James Bond just has a knack of making a tux appropriate in any setting. The Bond personal fashion mantra seems to be you can never be overdressed when you have to kill a terrorist, bed a Bond girl or save the world.

Good advice for all of us, it would seem. While Daniel Craig often rocks custom-designed Tom Ford suits in Skyfall, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought to light the evolution of Bond to modern style trends by showcasing an impressive collection of sportswear and linens.

CRUISING ALTITUDE COVER FEATURE There are literally hundreds of gadgets that have been invented and put on display in Bond movies. There’s the jetpack in Thunderball, Rosa Klebb’s spiked shoes in From Russia with Love, and the phone box airbag trap in GoldenEye that, if available on the open market today, would be impossible to keep in stock just from Jetset Magazine readers alone.

In the 1965 Bond movie Thunderball, Pat Fearing asks Bond the following question: “What exactly do you do?”

Bond responded, “Oh, I travel . . . a sort of licensed troubleshooter.”

Well said, Mr. Bond.

How about the Villa Le Torre, in Southern Tuscany, Italy, featured in Quantum of Solace? Or Villa del Balbianello next to Lake Como, where numerous scenes were shot for Casino Royale in 2006? The Chateau de Chantilly in France was featured in A View to a Kill, and one of the most glamorous Bond locations of all time is the Casino Monte Carlo in Monaco, used as a backdrop in Never Say Never Again and GoldenEye. Tomorrow Never Dies and ϔ were shot in and around the Clubhouse and on the course at Stoke Poges in the United Kingdom, and Goldeneye, Jamaica is Ian Fleming’s Caribbean home where he wrote 14 of the 007 novels.

James Bond, we salute you, your savoir-faire, your moxie, skills and cool-quotient, and, of course, your 50-year history on the silver screen. You are the consummate jetsetter, and while money can’t buy your life, your style, your connections, and your lethal resources, money can buy a very dry martini, shaken, not stirred, slightly chilled. And the least we mere mortals can do is to raise a glass and toast you, Bond, James Bond, with one or two tonight.

"Flying private for me helps with productivity. I fly private because you can't buy time, and life is just too short anyway."

He asked me what kinds of people watch the broadcast. Literally, like it was on cue, at the table next to us sat two sophisticated-looking women. We were at the Oak Bar, at The Plaza, and right then one of the ladies who overheard our conversation leans over and said, ‘We watch it every year.’ The reporter had to be thinking we set this up, but the lady continued to tell him that her, and her friend’s husbands, love cars, and they get together as a group, open a bottle of wine and sit down and watch the show each year and try to guess what the car prices are going to bring.

No self-respecting girl would turn down a combination of leather and metal. This designer watch is casual, yet designer.

Antarctica Whiskey Cabinet

Amouage Perfume

This unique gift was inspired by a whiskey that was buried and hidden by explorers in Antarctica almost a century ago. Dunhill replicated three bottles of the ultra-rare stuff, and then hand cut 100-year-old reclaimed wood to create this intricate whiskey cabinet, decorated with a map inlay. Also included: A nice flask, a rare first-edition book and bragging rights for years. Throw in the right cigar and you pretty much have every gentleman explorerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of perfection after a long, cold day.

Dunhill.com/en-us/shoponline

Using the rarest of ingredients such as the silver frankincense, Amouage is only meant for the discerning customer. Amouage's first fragrance was created as "the most valuable perfume in the world." To achieve this aim, Amouage commissioned the renowned French perfumer, Monsieur Guy Robert, master of Chanel, Dior and Hermes, and briefed him that "no expense was to be spared." It took over 100 natural oils and essences to compose this unique perfume. Amouage will continue to be a niche, sophisticated fragrance for refined tastes.

“We have barely tapped the potential of an entire spectrum of new agricultural development.”

Lands that can be optimized using sophisticated management techniques for growing foods high in micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals), rather than the dominant commodities that are high in macronutrients (fat, carbohydrate, protein) – like corn, dairy and meat.

Thoroughly documented by practicing board ϐ ǡ as many others, foods rich in micronutrients are the pillars of longevity, disease prevention and disease reversal.

Second, the demand for food is already not being met, but will continue to rise dramatically with population growth.

Third, Americans are committing suicide with food. We have an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer — all ϐ Ǥ are demanding an alternative to this perilous status quo, and are spending their dollars on nutrient-rich foods.

Fourth, the economic costs of a sick society are unsustainable.

U.S. taxpayers subsidize corn production to the tune of $5 billion a year. This results in farmers growing more corn than demand supports. Some of that surplus is sold to the meat industry for less than the costs of production, and some is made into high Ǥ ǡ ǡ however, rank lowest in micronutrient density.

Why are these types of foods and perennial food systems so valuable, and why do they hold promise for sound agricultural investing?

There are many reasons, but I think the top four are: 1. They are the foundation to growing a healthy society.

2. They are crucial to reducing the $2.6 trillion in annual medical expenditures.

3. They serve as a hedge against future climate change.

4. They make use of what is considered under-producing or marginal land, which can be found closer to population centers in areas not previously understood as agriculturally valuable.

ϐ Ǧ ϐ Ǥ On the other end of the equation, health care expenditures in the U.S. were nearly $2.6 trillion in 2010 and are expected to increase annually. Of that, approximately 75 percent was spent on patients with one or more chronic conditions, most of which can be prevented and even reversed with a nutrient-dense diet.

While there is far more to say than I can address here, I hope that I have piqued your interest in what I believe to be one of the most important issues and opportunities facing our society today. As you consider how to protect and grow your wealth, consider diversifying your portfolio with new frontier agricultural land.

What do I think the new frontier in agricultural land use and food production will look like?

Perennial micronutrient food systems are where it’s at, and where long-term investment opportunities are most promising.

These systems can be optimized for climate change resilience

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type was one of the most highly anticipated debuts at the show, and Jaguar didn’t disappoint. This new sports car is pure hotness in every sense of the term. Representing a return to Jaguar’s sports car roots, the new F-Type is a two-seater convertible with an aluminum structure. It is a light car with ideal weight distribution. The styling features LED taillights and tapered headlights. Three engine options are offered: a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 rated at 340 horsepower, the S model rated at 380 horsepower, and the range-topping supercharged 5.0-liter V8 S rated at 495 horsepower.

Audi took the wraps off of the Crosslane Coupe Concept, a new compact 177-horsepower plug-in hybrid SUV concept. The Audi Crosslane Coupe Concept has a Targa-style removable roof panel and features considerably more chiseled styling than existing models. The future of Audi SUV styling is bolder, more angular and masculine than the current soft, rounded look of today’s models — the Crosslane Coupe Concept’s edgy front-end treatment, intimidating headlights and heavily faceted grille make a prominent statement.

The cars are offered in white, two shades of blue, or black, and their cabins feature bespoke inlaid wood patterns and special embroidery on the seats. The Ghost will be sold in either white or black and offer similar interior embellishments to the Phantom’s. Naturally, Rolls saying that the cars are “available” in these colors is merely a suggestion, with its bespoke department at the ready to paint an Art Deco car to match the lurid pastels of Miami Beach’s art deco district.

ALLEMAN Studios Limited Edition Bronze Sculptures Inspired by Nature

By Carol Alleman If you seek an exquisitely crafted work of art with a rich and symbolic underlying spirit, a limited edition bronze vessel created by artist Carol Alleman may be precisely what you are searching for. As a self-described “gardener of the soul,” and growing conservation artist, Alleman is continuously inspired by the mystical voice of nature and the human spirit in all its colors.

“I believe exceptional art is essentially about truly arousing the soul in an enduring and profound manner,” she states. “At best, it awakens and empowers — delightfully nourishing an unspoken, perhaps even unknown, deep and vital hunger.“ Alleman’s choice of bronze for her work was not accidental, as bronze is a material that endures for generations, not unlike the woodland settings she honors through her work. Also, as an artistic medium, bronze offers a rich patina that changes over time, much like nature itself.

She has chosen to work primarily within the vessel form ϐ Ǥ “Ancient and feminine in quality, its circular form is never-

ǡ ϐ contents,” she describes. Her vessels, with vast cut-out areas, allow for a dramatic play on light, mirroring the ever changing light patterns of nature. Her uniquely intricate and often vibrant patinas, within the cut-out vessel form, have become a highly recognized Alleman signature.

“I believe exceptional art is essentially about truly arousing the soul in an enduring and profound manner.”

To gain inspiration for her work, Alleman personally photographs and sketches plants and trees in their natural habitat, often bringing a leaf, a fallen piece of bark or seed pod back to her studio to use as a reference and inspiration. To begin the creative process, she spends many hours conducting detailed research of her subject matter before creating sketches that are ultimately transformed into stunning, museum quality works of art. The process of creating the original vessel typically requires several months of research and sculpting followed by the lenghty process of lost wax casting, requiring an additional eight to twelve weeks at minimum.

We are given visible reminders that every season holds its own ripe purpose - So it is with the crocus bloom pushing through the crusted snow - a welcome reminder of the Garden of Promises in which we live.

- Carol Alleman

Allemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing bronze forest is richly punctuated with vast elements of nature, while drawing on diverse threads of mystical wisdom and symbolism. Her companion writings and poetry have grown to become as cherished as her exquisite works of art themselves, as they empower a sense of authentic connection, hope and joy.

There is a reason Allemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vessels are rarely found on the secondary market or at auction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; collectors deeply cherish them and rarely ever part with them.

...she reminds us, through her lengthy migrations, never to fear our wings too small to carry us the great distance of any season...

Lowyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career as an art advisor and collector was spurred by an adventure he had as a young man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was 17 years old, I went to (XURSH IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH RQ D VWXGHQW WULS ZLWK P\ EHVW IULHQG +H KDG just completed an AP Art History course and was very excited to see the DUW KH KDG VWXGLHG ÂżUVW KDQG :KDW DQ HQWKXVLDVWLF WRXU JXLGH 7KDW ZDV P\ ÂżUVW ELJ ÂľZRZ Âś , ZHQW RQ WR VWXG\ WKH KLVWRU\ RI DUW DW WKH 8QLYHUVLW\ of Pennsylvania. My thesis advisor was the brilliant art historian Dr. Leo Steinberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Steinberg collected Old Master prints, and encouraged me to begin collecting art as part of my educational development. Although I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I was doing (I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been taught about the importance of condition or of developing focus as a collector), it sounded like fun.

I spent a summer reading for my thesis and collecting prints. There was one that I bought at a good price but needed framing if I were to keep it. I decided instead to sell it at auction as an experiment and realized a nearly SHUFHQW SURÂżW , OHDUQHG TXLFNO\ WKDW NQRZOHGJH LV SRZHU ,W ZDV D ELJ lesson for me at a tender age.â&#x20AC;?

Today, Lowy advises individuals on the development and growth of art collections that provide investment value as well as aesthetic and spiritual nourishment. Among others, he provides his services to modernday Medicis who aspire to be patrons of the arts.

Whatever the reasons for collecting, Lowy encourages serious art buyers to consult with an advisor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The art you love will make your heart race and give you an emotional high.â&#x20AC;?

Bauer was known to be a favorite of Guggenheim, but a dispute that erupted over his contract with the Guggenheim Foundation left the painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with his patrons strained. He stopped painting to prevent them from having any further control over his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stumbled upon his work in an exhibition and was shocked that I had never heard of him before,â&#x20AC;? recalls Lowy, who received a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in art history and English literature from the University of Pennsylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through his work I became familiar with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art of Tomorrow,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and in just a few months I was negotiating with Thomas Messer, the director of the Guggenheim Museum, to purchase works by Bauer and his circle out of the permanent collection. I was 29 years old and my professors had done their job well. Here was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;museum qualityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work that had gone unrecognized for years. The market for this work has since re-awakened.â&#x20AC;?

Lowy, who also holds an Executive MBA in management from the Stern School of Business at New York University, co-founded Portico Fine Art in 1981.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you say patronage, I think of kings, queens, popes and captains of industry,â&#x20AC;? Lowy says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the Renaissance, art was very transactional.

MARKETPLACE HEALTH

DEFICIENCIES WHY YOU NEED ESSENTIAL MULTI-NUTRIENTS

BY RAY FLORIO

A

fter all the effort we make to exercise and all the money we spend on foods, supplements and health services, we should be extremely healthy. The United States should be the healthiest country in the world. Why, then, after spending trillions of dollars on all kinds of health care and all kinds of sick care, are we still one of the sickest countries in the world? Are we fooling ourselves? Are we being fooled by hearing the constant staggering statistics in favor of how sick we are? If the country is to be healthy again, we should switch our focus.

One of the craziest health statistics I’ve ever heard was brought to my attention by Dr. Joel Wallach who has been educating people about nutrition and health since the early 70s. What Dr. Wallach found was that athletes tended to have a shorter lifespan than the inactive couch potato — 10 years shorter. Whether it was because of an injury, sudden heart attack or aneurysm, cancer, a retirement without continued training or a retirement without proper recovery, they all had one thing in common — nutritional ϐ Ǥ ǯ Ǥ of some of the more recent discoveries of their own, NFL players

and teams have started looking into some of the things they can do to assist in the lifestyle changes needed for its former players. I suspect that by now, the number of athletes who do remain healthy and the number of couch potatoes who die suddenly balances things out. Even so, that means healthy active people and sick inactive people have the same life expectancy?

Then there’s quality of life. Of course, that counts for something, but 100 years of quality life is different than 10 or 20 Ǥ ϐ be different, but the fact is, if the body’s resources are overspent, it will need twice as much just to return to its normal functioning.

Nutrients are constantly being used by the body. When extra activities are done that exert the body’s resources such as working out, playing a sport, or sex (especially for men), even more nutrients are used up. Even with the billions of dollars some

Of course, there’s personal responsibility, but where does it start? School? True health was not taught in the school I went to.

If someone goes to any business or professional claiming they are experts in health, and they are not, then the responsibility falls more on the service provider, because the customer is just looking to be educated. They have to start somewhere and not everyone has the same resources. Many people do what they hear about from a friend or what is convenient at the time, and don’t actively research the topic.

How much money do you waste on foods and supplements you’re not even absorbing? There are dozens of factors that contribute to creating a quality product that go overlooked by consumers. If you even believe in the concept of a multivitamin, then you probably also believe it’s necessary to take them. A multivitamin is looked at as a staple in any successful health program, and it can be. It’s just not enough. What’s necessary to keep the body sustained at an optimal level requires multinutrients. The body cannot make the essential multi-nutrients, so they must be obtained by food. So what we need should not be limited to vitamins, and not just minerals, which may not even be natural, but synthetic.

Synthetic products make people think vitamins don’t work, because while they’re taking them, they’re getting sick anyway, yet they did no research as to why. The isolated Vitamin C once thought to be better than eating a couple of oranges is not. It cannot be absorbed the same way a whole food does in the body because the synergistic raw materials are not present. So knowing this you may say, “All right, no more vitamin and mineral supplements, I’ll just eat more fruits and vegetables.” We can see this isn’t enough either, because of the rate at which all people are still getting sick, no matter what their lifestyle or activity level is, and even though they eat “healthy.”

The soil is depleted of minerals. We hear this all the time as Ǧ ϐ along with our meals. Many years ago, medicinal doses of vitamins and minerals could be obtained from good old solid whole food. ǡ ϐ high enough amount of nutrients from solid food. It’s not just the lower amount of nutrients in the food, but also the higher amount of toxicity in the environment. Band-aiding this imbalance by taking only supplements isn’t the answer either. Growing food in high quality soil again, and taking natural bioavailable formulas as a complete approach is. It’s never one thing or the other. The person who really wants to be healthy does everything they can, implementing things into their life in a way that works for them.

The amount of nutrients able to be absorbed must be greater than the toxins we are around constantly.

The truth is, people are getting healthier and they are getting educated. Those who don’t want to believe that, or who don’t report all the positive changes already happening, don’t know about them, don’t care to know about them, or they just choose to focus on the negative. How often do we hear about the statistics of people who never get sick anymore? I know they’re out there, because I know most of these statistics. If people were not really interested in getting healthy, there wouldn’t be such a great supply of health services and products. People just need to be more selective in what they’re buying. Every time we spend our money on something, we are supporting that company and showing what we believe in on a grander scale.
