If you like skiing, have a bulky wallet and live in the US, your place is Aspen, Colorado. Sisters Kendall (25) and Kylie Jenner (23) belong to that select group of citizens who not even the pandemic prevents from carrying out their plans and thus have been captured by photographers, making purchases at Prada.
Then they drove off in a white Mercedes 4×4 driven by Kendall herself. They were not accompanied on this raid by their mother, Kris Jenner, although she is also there these days.
Both were covered behind the mask and wide sunglasses.
After shopping they left in this unusual vehicle.
Aspen organized the first world ski competition held in the USA in 1950 and began to take shape as the favorite corner of the North American elite since the presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who built a family refuge there. Today, there are only four ski destinations in the world where a house rarely goes below 20 million euros. One of them is Aspen.
At 2,400 meters above sea level and with only about 7,000 year-round residents, Aspen is America’s luxury winter tourist destination, with the same exclusive boutiques found on New York’s Fifth Avenue. The wealthiest arrive by private plane (a round-trip flight from Los Angeles in a Gulfstream G450 jet costs about $ 64,000) and among their clients (or owners) it is easier to find those who own or have owned property there.

Aspen rises to the foothills of Red Mountain, which some call ‘the mountain of millionaires’, because there they have or have owned a property Jack Nicholson, Antonio Banderas – today, owned by Melanie Griffith – Kevin Costner, Will Smith, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Lance Armstrong, Michael Douglas, Mariah Carey and record producers David Geffen and Tommy Mottola.
But also relevant businessmen of the stature of Lewis Sanders, president of Sanders Capital, manager with 17,000 million dollars of assets; Mr. Bezos, parents of the founder of Amazon or the family of Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Inc, one of the largest computer vendors in the world.
Melanie Griffith is now the owner of the house she bought with Antonio Banderas. Along with her, Goldie Hawn, also a resident of Aspen.
Although at the end of the year we can see Paris Hilton gliding through one of the four stations of Aspen Snowmass (Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass offer almost 500 km of slopes) having lunch at Ricard Brasserie & Liquor Bar, the high point of Aspen is the extreme sport contest X Games, organized by ESPN the last week of January.
In the meantime, you can take classes with the best snowboard instructors in the world, those offered by the Aspen Skiing Company, at a rate of 600 dollars for a half day, or relax in the Remède Spa of the Saint Regis hotel: a massage package, lunch and access to all facilities for $ 700.
