The Billionaires Summer Camp: Why do Zuckerberg and Gates attend Sun Valley
What draws the tech giants, business moguls, and politicians to this elite retreat in Idaho
Words: Charlie Bentley
For mere mortals, we are scarcely privy to the social calendars of billionaires. Occasionally, we are allowed a glimpse into the world of the elite, the prime movers. We hear about events such as the World Economic Forum in Davos or the Monaco Yacht show. These occasions are rarely just places for the ultra-rich to have a chat with the people of their ilk. Rather, they are events that allow for deals to be made, financial connections formed, and dynasties secured. The Sun Valley Conference in Idaho is one of these places, forming a mixture of a retreat and a platform for the world’s most powerful.
