Magazines

Someone whose livejournal I read regularly because of here interesting views on language [livejournal.com profile] ozarque just said: "If you've been reading this journal a while you're aware that I read every issue of Forbes, in order to get an idea of the worldview of the prototypical Rich Person -- and that I've learned a tremendous amount about the way an RP defines his or her terms."

Now I know that folks who really are well off don't particularly care for Forbes. But is there another, more real, magazine that is targeted at the person who is really rich, and not just a wannabe?

Rich people don't need a magazine.

It's like real playboys: They don't have time to focus away from what they're doing to read a magazine about what people think they're doing. They're doing what they do. This is not as precise as I'd like it to be, but the idea seems clear.
