A haven of high-end allure and exclusivity befitting the world’s one per cent, Beverly Hills is one of those stunningly aspirational places that has managed to uphold a nearly peerless global reputation for being the very best. It’s not just a rich city, it’s the rich city, known all around the world for being both excessively wealthy and still supremely classy.
Much of the credit comes down to its high-profile residents: Since incorporating in 1914, the tiny 14.8-square-kilometre metropolis in California’s Los Angeles County has been a hotspot for the rich and renowned elite, first classic Hollywood legends like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, and more recently, the beloved national treasures from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
