Luxury CEOs Pay $50K to Get Dripped, Not Drunk
Akeshi Akinseye, luxury event planner for CEOs and athletes since 2012, has elevated fancy parties from boring sit-down dinners to weekend-long 'experiences' worth well into six figures. Forget subtle 'quiet luxury'—her clients want drone shows featuring their portraits, caviar not only on plates but in martinis, and espresso martini towers where guests ring bells for booze instead of champagne. After all-night clubbing until 4 a.m., 'recovery days' pack IV drips and spa treatments to repair the human wreckage. Events span private estates to exclusive clubs, with elaborate gifting suites that must be larger than most people's apartments. Apparently, a great party also demands custom fashion mood boards. Because nothing says meaningful celebration like matching your outfit to a drone portrait.

When your private party costs more than a car, includes drone fireworks of yourself, and ends with IV drips, remember you’re just trying to feel like a normal person — but richer and more injured.
Why settle for cake when you can get mini cake boxes for later paired with champagne? Because apparently, dessert plus flexibility equals high society genius.
Luxury event trend: replacing fireworks with drones so personalized they might crash your meticulously curated weekend. Bravo for progress, and ruining trees.
