The Robb Report seems to be written by people with a geniune understanding, knowledge and interest in their subjects of coverage whether it's Ferrari's, Italian luxury yachts, the best rideshare jet or an interesting $4M vacation home they know the history and understanding the lightweights from the authentic. They actually know their stuff and don't just write regurgitated press releases.
With a lot of fakes and poseurs out there, The Robb Report is the real thing. Solid writing, excellent photographs and even the ads are fun to look at. Whether you live this life or aspire to it, the Robb Report is the real beluga ...

Read Best Reviews of Robb Report (1-year auto-renewal) Here
The Robb Report should probably call itself 'TheMagazine for People with Way Too Much Money'. It
is a critical examination of the goods, services
and experiences available to those for whom
money is no object. There is no advice on getting
the most out of a tight budget, just advice on
getting the most.
So, if you don't happen to be in that bracket, what's
the point? Why read about what you can't attain?
If you can keep envy in check, there are three
reasons to read the Robb Report regularly.
1. it makes for very good fantasizing. Think of it
as a harmless form of consumer-porn.
2. the rich really do live well and there are ideas
you can adapt from them to your own more modest
circumstances.
3. some of the writing is superb. Read Jack Smith on
hiking through the Alps (Jan2007)for instance.
If you can't afford the experiences descibed in the
Robb Report, you can at least have the comfort of
their acquaintance. Of course, you could, alternatively
save the cover price, read it in the library and invest
the money you saved in a no-load mutual fund. Allowing
for growth and compounding and all, you'll probably be
able to afford that yacht about nine thousand years
from now.

Bah---they're just shopping at the wrong stores.More to the point, they probably never leafed through a copy of the Robb Report.
Back in my lowly days as a cold-calling, dialing-for-dollars stockbroker, the ratty looking guy occupying the desk to my right would always sneer when I would pick up the Robb Report on my mid-afternoon walk---"you're a dreamer, Garrett", he would rasp, cackling as I idled, morning coffee-a-steaming, over the glossy, gorgeous, impossibly perfect sleekness of a Bugatti million dollar supercar, or a Lamborghini Murcielago, or a cask of rare Amontillado, or some crafty, indolent, impossibly sexy and lethal day-spa tucked away in the mountain fastness of Colorado.
Yeah, I was a dreamer. Still am.
And? So? What's wrong with that? Self-help gurus jet around this green and pleasant land of hours and make gazillions touting visualization---seeing your goals so as to better attain them---so what's wrong with drooling over a glossy spread of the latest Rolls Royce Phantom and saying "yeah, granted, I'm slaving for 100 hours a week, but next February I'm gonna be riding around in that roadster, with a built-in-humidor"?
See my point?
The Robb Report, then, is my conduit to dreams: to those things within my immediate grasp, and to those creature comforts promised at the far end of an arduous campaign. Things I new of before, perhaps: things the dear old RR introduced unto me---like the whiskey maker Balvenie, and its sharp-as-Toledo-steel 10-year single malt whiskey, with its rich peaty flavor and whiff of Irish Sea insanity.
Dreams, indeed.
Let's burrow down the marrow, dear friends: let's get down into the viscera, the bone, the sinew of the matter. Capitalism is about, frankly, each being rewarded unto his own raw ambition, his crazy energy, his feisty talent. The Robb Report, then, serves as a kind of psychological lodestone: do this, Gentle Knight, and the world---of fine Sevruga caviar, of Crystal, of Rolex, of Bugatti and Maserati and Lamborghini and Rolls Royce and townhouses the size of small nation-states and, more to the point, full financial independence with Savile-Row tailoring and hella-great cigars---shall be yours.
Dare I say that Robb Report is gorgeously shot, lustrously framed, and succinctly written? A sort of porno for uber-capitalists?
I shall. Drink up, me hearties! Yaaaaaar!
