We have dedicated this issue to great art, past, present and future. On the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death, we retrace the footsteps of arguably the world’s most famous artist. We speak to some of the highest profile contemporary artists, from Julio le Parc to Gilbert & George to Neo Rauch and some of their billionaire collectors. We venture into the intriguing world of artificial intelligence art, starting with last year’s first public auction of an AI painting, which sold for nearly half-a-million dollars. Finally we examine the trends breathing new life into the Old Masters market.

In our first issue dedicated solely to women, we celebrate high-profile females who have broken through the glass ceiling — pulling others up with them.

In The Impact Issue we take inspiration from Margaret Mead's quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”. From billionaires to your man-on-the-street, everyone can impact change around them, as we hear in this issue's collection of truly inspirational human stories. 

Can there be any finer way to spend a few days, than eating delicious food, drinking fabulous wine, and exploring new horizons? We certainly don't think so.

In Billionaire’s Taste & Travel Issue we journey across five continents, including island-hopping through wild Greenland, discovering remote Madagascan beaches and getting under the skin of Belize, a world biodiversity hotspot. As for exploration of the culinary kind, join us to feast at the inimitable Parisian institution Le Clarence, before sampling a tasting menu from the delightful Max Alajmo, who, in his twenties became the world’s youngest triple-Michelin-starred chef.  And so much more besides.

In this issue of Billionaire themed on the Next Generation, we speak to a quintet of second-, third- and even fifth-generation business scions about how they have managed the succession process and retained the values of their forefathers.

Savoir-faire, literally translates as ‘know-how’. It’s the gestures and knowledge of craftspeople, passed down through generations. Many of these crafts are in danger of becoming extinct but, in some cases, they are being rediscovered and commercialised. In this issue of Billionaire, we celebrate that.

Healing through nature and community is the theme of this issue of Billionaire, where we dive into the power of outdoor meditation, look at a new luxury psychedelic program in Jamaica and Netherlands, and speak to film-maker Marc Forster about the underrated benefits of community spirit.

In the Exploration issue, we dive into some of the world’s most beautiful and remote places and get under the skin of issues we face today.

Seeing the world through a light-filled lens can help to better understand its shadows. This is a central theme in this issue of Billionaire.

In the Makers issue, some of the highlights include a behind-the-scenes look at this year’s Homo Faber event in Venice, an interview with telecoms billionaire John Caudwell about making it, and giving it away, and the story of a former LVMH executive who left the corporate world to cultivate a 900-year-old vineyard in Burgundy.

The pandemic has prompted many to wonder if our current educational system meets the needs of an increasingly unknowable future. In this issue of Billionaire we explore some of the most intriguing ideas for alternatives, as well as looking at Blockchain's role in the education revolution.

In our Culture issue we sit down with starchitect Sir David Adjaye to discuss his project. We speak to Leonie Bell, director of the Kengo Kuma-designed V&A Dundee, about how the institution can be a catalyst for societal change. Nachson Mimran, a passionate art collector and owner of the revered Alpina Gstaad, discusses why philanthropy needs a ‘cool’ makeover and we journey to Lisbon to see scientist-turned-artist Carsten Höller’s exhibition, a pulse-racing joyride of sometimes hallucinogenic, occasionally terrifying, installations.

In this issue of Billionaire, themed on Power, we dedicate a section to empowered women who are improving the lives of others, like Josie Naughton, co-founder of Choose Love, the refugee charity which began with a humble hashtag. We also look at the next generation of cleaner vehicles, including 'boomless' supersonic jets powered by biofuels and the future of electric transport by boat, car and plane. 

It can be hard to be hopeful about the future when preserving the planet seems such a Sisyphean task.
But without sounding Pollyannish, we've dedicated this issue to Hope because there are many things to feel genuinely positive about. For instance, the rebound in the elephant population (and other endangered species), a US leader taking climate change seriously, and individuals using innovation to answer some of the world's most pressing problems, all of which and more we cover in this issue. 

Last year we were forced to step back and take a collective deep breath. How will we now adapt in the face of the biggest global upheaval in living memory? In this issue we speak to some of the most inspiring grassroots entrepreneurs writing sustainability into their business plans, and the craftsmen and women in fashion, art and design, pioneering the 'slow' movement. We journey to the depths of the ocean in pursuit of visionary marine research and the heart of the South American jungles to understand the power of plant medicine. And at the heart of it all, is finding a better balance.

As we look forward to a time of regained freedoms, Billionaire’s Exploration Issue earmarks some bucket-list trips, including the unearthly Son Doong Caves in Vietnam, the lush coffee fields of Guatemala, superyachting around Sicily and a walk on the wild side with Kenya’s Samburu tribe. While most of us can only dream of those adventures for now, we take a look at the most exciting virtual and AI experiences in the art and science world. Finally we profile some of the most intrepid scientific explorers and how they are expanding our understanding of conservation.

Don't we all want to leave a legacy of some sort? In this issue we look at some of the most innovative philanthropic legacy leavers, from Kjell Inge Rokke to Richard Branson, as well as those who have left a mark on the worlds of art and design, including John Pawson and Kenzo Takada. We also explore the challenges of being born with a famous name, in frank conversations with members of the Dassault and Rothschild families.

There’s a lot more to health than self-preservation as we examine in this Issue. From how to live comfortably to 100, to the rise of data-driven health tech, to most the valuable ancient healing techniques, we get under the skin of the big questions.

For the Earth Issue, our cover is an image from The Anthropocene Project: a hauntingly beautiful multimedia exhibition documenting humanity’s indelible footprint on the planet.

Billionaire's Visionaries Issue is dedicated to the disrupters reshaping the future by questioning the status quo, from Impossible Foods' plant-based meat mission to Kew Garden's plastic-eating fungus. We speak to the founder of the Ocean Cleanup - undeterred by a recent setback - about his plans to rid the ocean of plastic. Stella McCartney discusses throwing her weight behind the United Nations charter for sustainable fashion, and we hear from Professor Brian Cox on the importance of teaching people how to fail.

Billionaire's Giving Issue celebrates charitable giving in all shapes and sizes; from the mega-foundations of billionaires to the Indian villager who single-handedly replanted a forest. In mind of the season we look at thoughtful gifting ideas, with highlights including lab-grown diamond jewellery, personalised tartan, pre-loved luxury and hand-made artisan crafts. 

In a post-truth era, through diverse travel, cultural awareness and human philosophy, we discover rediscover our most powerful asset: knowledge

In this issue we feature the individuals and initiatives helping to safeguard the planet's most precious commodity: water. 

In this Ideas issue of Billionaire we take a look at the individuals and enterprises using good ideas to solve the planet’s problems.

December’s issue of BLLNR is dedicated to charity. We travel to America to talk to AirB&B founder, Joe Gebbia, about how to connect refugees with members of their new communities. We talk to local people making a difference in the charity world, going half way round the world on a motorbike to help endangered animals. Then its on to Cambodia to talk to the Shinta Mani Foundation about their efforts in training Cambodia’s youth with life-long work skills. Then we hear from young start-up Ofo about bringing clean air back to Singapore, before ending on an uplifting note of most people’s favourite question: what would you do if you had a billion dollars?

This issue of Billionaire is dedicated to celebration, because amid all the bad news we read it is easy to forget all that is good in the world. And there is much of it.

In this issue of Billionaire we look at journeys experienced through different lenses, physical, entrepreneurial and spiritual.

In this issue, we celebrate the spirit of the journey. Starting things off , we chronicle our fight to reverse the effects of Mankind on the world and how much more we need to overcome. Our efforts in reducing our damage to the environment are commendable – here we examine just how far we’ve come. Also in the mix are tales of how businesses within the region have grown and are trying to grow from start-ups to success stories. From home-grown brands like FoodPanda and PS.Cafe to international enterprises, there are lessons to be learnt in each of their business journeys.

From A.I. personal assistants to advancements in technology which might one day make us immortal, this issue explores the various aspects of the future and examines what could be. But it isn’t all just purposeless wonderment – these pages also hold stories of initiatives that are being put in place that will ensure the betterment of society in the future.

If the future is looking a little bleak to you right now, you're not alone. But the great thing about the future is that we have the power to change it. In this issue of Billionaire we look at the ways our world could evolve and how individuals are shaping the future for the better.
