Long Island home that included actors posing in

also in 1989, the bash he threw in Tangier drew 800

Agnelli, Barbara Walters, and Elizabeth Taylor, and cost a rumored
$2.5 million. And who can forget Stephen Schwarzman’s 60th,

Hosting an over-the-top party is an art the one

percent has been perfecting since time immemorial.
Generally, the most extravagant of these events were
reserved for truly meaningful occasions, like milestone
birthdays or weddings; Forbes’s bash was dubbed “the
party of the century” because there wasn’t one just like
it every week. Recently, however, something seems to
have shited, and once-in-a-lifetime parties have reached
a critical mass.
Last summer the New York–based event planner
Bronson van Wyck hosted 400 riends on the Greek
island of Mykonos for what he called a Homeric Ball to
celebrate his 44th birthday. Duran Duran and Flo Rida
performed. Costumes were required, and guests includ-
ing Paris Hilton, Carol and Earle Mack, Vanessa Getty,
and Emilia and Pepe Fanjul came as gladiators, muses,
and Greek gods. Only Schwarzman—who last year had
his own destination 70th birthday party in Palm Beach,
complete with live camels—went with a modern spin.
He dressed as Aristotle Onassis.
“It was instant legend. Truly one of the top 10 nights
of my life,” says writer Jill Kargman, a classmate of Van
Wyck’s at Yale. “his was the 21st-century version of
Truman Capote’s Black & White Ball or the Bal Oriental
in Paris, but with a gigantic Trojan Horse.”
Maybe it’s because social media has made exclusive
experiences much more visible, but it certainly seems as
if the destination birthday has superseded the destina-
tion wedding as an important stop on the international
society merry-go-round.
“here’s this new trend that any milestone has now
moved to a destination,” says one socialite. “In the olden
days people got married where the bride was rom, or
where she spent the summer. Now it has to be in India
on top of an elephant. Birthdays are the next exciting
way to celebrate in a showofy way.”
Another regular on the social circuit adds, “Every-
thing has been done in New York City, and we’ve had a
bull market for years. Everyone’s done so well that they
don’t feel bad about people getting on a plane just to do
something diferent.”
But how much can you really expect your riends to
celebrate you?
