The Next Monaco

Inspired by James of Arc's post saying we need more Australia's, my joke is we need more Monaco's. Why not?

What else feels like a luxurious Star Wars cloud city with F1 racing, yachts, and a supermodel tax haven?

Monaco exists as this impossible dream - a city-state that somehow manages to be both exclusive and accessible, both ancient and futuristic, both European and global. It's where the world's wealthiest people go to play, where Formula 1 cars scream through narrow streets, where yachts the size of small buildings dock casually in the harbor.

But Monaco isn't just about money. It's about a certain kind of lifestyle, a certain kind of aesthetic, a certain kind of freedom. It's about living in a place where everything is designed for pleasure, where every detail is considered, where every experience is curated.

So why not create more places like this? Why not build new Monaco's around the world?

Imagine a Monaco in the mountains - a high-altitude playground where the wealthy can ski, hike, and escape the heat. Or a Monaco in the desert - a futuristic oasis where technology and luxury meet in perfect harmony. Or a Monaco in the tropics - a paradise where the world's elite can live in perpetual summer.

These wouldn't just be cities. They would be experiences. They would be statements about what's possible when you combine unlimited resources with unlimited imagination.

They would be places where the rules are different, where the standards are higher, where the possibilities are endless.

They would be the next Monaco's.

And why not? The world is full of beautiful places, full of talented people, full of resources waiting to be combined in new and interesting ways.

All it takes is vision, ambition, and the willingness to dream big enough to make it happen.

So let's build more Monaco's. Let's create more places where the impossible becomes possible, where luxury meets innovation, where the future feels like it's already here.

Let's build the next Monaco.
