The wealthy seek unique experiences, such as a vacation, a class or an event with prominent cultural leaders, according to a new study by American Express of their U.K. Centurion card holders (i.e. the super-rich).
The study found that 46% of the wealthy plan to spend more in 2008 on new learning experiences. That exceeded planned spending on technology products, home furnishings, charities and fashion.
Culinary luxury is a top sub-sector of the new experience economy: 85% plan to travel abroad for a memorable meal.
