BILLIONAIRE - Print - The Preservation Issue (#45)

In a fast-changing world, preservation feels radical: it means pausing to protect what has value and deciding what should endure.

This issue explores preservation through Armando Martins, whose Lisbon MACAM restores a 325-year-old palace and houses over 600 artworks for public enjoyment. It also examines how endangered-animal charities recruit former poachers and traffickers as protectors.

Other features include sustainable luxury—from Rolls-Royce’s Black Badge Spectre in the Scottish Highlands to low-carbon superyacht brands—and a cover story on lion cubs surviving Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, alongside efforts to reduce human-lion conflict. The issue closes with a restorative stay at Lodge Park Megève’s Pure Altitude Longevity Spa.
