Portofino wealthy holiday resort, if you want to see how the rich & famous live in Europe just take a wonderful one hour walk from Santa Margherita.

You can smell the money here. 😎
This is a fascinating place to visit, it is however very expensive as you can imagine.
The Portofino wealthy Italians arrive
I wonder if he can afford to buy everyone lunch? The truth is he can probably afford to buy the damn restaurant.
Lunch, nice but expensive.
If I remember correctly my seafood soup was 26 Euros.
King of the hill
The sheer wealth here is astonishing, I imagine most of these homes have been handed down through families for centuries. If walls could talk there would be some fascinating tales to be told here. 😳
Same house different aspect
No matter which way you look at this home it is simply breathtaking, I wonder which boat is theirs? My money is on the red one.

This is the Club Mediterranean yacht.
Quite an amazing looking yacht.
Some people really struggle in life, others don’t.
Naturally there is a helicopter aboard.
And the beat goes on.
Now this is what I call a great boat.

Global inequality is certainly growing, in 2015 half the world’s wealth is in the hands of just 1% of the population.
Can you imagine the cost to fill the tank?
Imagine this, you pull into the dock and say “fill it up please”, it would cost as much as an around the world air fare.
Big Daddy
No matter how big your boat is I guarantee someone around the corner someone has a bigger one.
On the hill is Hotel Splendido
Hotel Splendido is rated the number one hotel in Portofino.
