Where To Live Very Well On Less
In this recession, unlike others, the superrich haven't been immune. Individuals worth $1 million or more lost nearly 20% of their wealth last year, according to Merrill Lynch's 2009 World Wealth Report. Diminished prosperity around the world has knocked Louis Vuitton purses off the arms of ladies who lunch and caused home buyers to ditch their deposits on milliondollar homes.
There is some good news for them, thoughthis year, certain luxuries, say, nibbling on premium caviar, will be easier on their wallets. Just about everywhere, consumers of luxury goods have taken a knock to their spending power. The silver lining? In many cases, the steep cost of lavish commodities has softenedif by margins still prohibitive to anyone but the most fortunate.
Forbes has been tracking the cost of luxury items for 33 years, and this year, its Cost of Living Extremely Well Index (CLEWI) stayed nearly flat. It rose by only 1%a dramatically slimmer increase than last year's 12%, and the slowest rise since Forbes began tracking the numbers. This is great news for the superrich, who,[url=http://www.sport.fr/economie/airmax.html]air max femmes[/url], new research shows, have taken to bargainhuntinga habit they once considered unthinkable.
Conventional wisdom once dictated that even in turbulent economic times the richest segment of the population would stay above the fray, allowing makers of super highend products to maintain their sales. But that doesn't hold true today. Few have been immune to the global economic slide, and luxury consumers, who fear both appearing insensitive to the plight of others and for their future earnings, have curbed their spending.
"There's a different mindset for luxury consumers," says Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing, a Stevens, Pa., market research firm that specializes in luxury goods. "The definition of luxury has stayed the same; it's associated with finer quality, more comfort, more beautiful things. But they don't want to be perceived as uncaring, or unaware of the cultural trends. And many have had their incomes directly affected by the recession."
Marketers of luxury goods have been forced to respond by offering products at a discount. dollars can buy more this year. The British pound, while strong, is weaker against the dollar than it was this time last year. Partly because of this, a RollsRoyce Phantom costs $381,048.20 in London, while last year it set British buyers back $510,000.
The set for whom buying on sale once bore an undeniable stigma has embraced "recession chic," according to Danziger, and pounced on the bargains.
"You have a real cut in spending," says Danziger. "You also have people just recognizing that now is not the time to be extravagant; it's not about wearing bling anymore, it's about being responsible consumers."
For American buyers, for example, shopping in cosmopolitan European cities may lose its appeal. Why purchase a $670 pair of Gucci loafers in Berlin, when they cost a full 15% less at home in New York?
There are more longterm reasons that consumers of luxury goods are expected to spend less. The population is growing older, and entering an age bracket in which material goods have less social cache. For those buyers, cities in countries with emerging economies, like Hong Kong, and in rapidly developing ones, like Dubai, might look more attractive, as they offer the trappings of a luxury lifestyle for less. You can pick up a RollsRoyce Phantom in Hong Kong for $377,500, the cheapest price in any city we surveyed. A case of 10 Dominican "Aniversario No. 1" Davidoff cigars is $592 in Hong Kong, 34% cheaper than it is in New York. And you won't find the cigars any cheaper than in Dubai, where they're $360. While in Dubai, pick up a gold Patek Phillipe watchits $14,996 price tag is the lowest in all our cities.
But even as highend buyers get smarter with their reduced wealth, and luxury retailers try to lure them back by chipping away at prices, marketers of designer products are hoping for the return of conspicuous consumption. Danziger says they may be facing a different world then they are used to.
"A lot of marketers and brands want to pretend it's just a business cycle and it all will go away," says Danziger. "But I don't think people will go back to spending those kinds of dollars."
