What is luxury? How do people live who are so rich that they can afford everything? Is such a life desirable? To investigate these questions, Dennis Leiffels travels to St. Moritz in Switzerland. A place where not only millionaires, but also billionaires mingle while they spend their luxury holidays here. Dennis accompanies 35-year-old Russian Xenia Romanova (Instagram: @xenaroma). According to her own statements, she needs at least 8,000 euros a month for her luxurious lifestyle. For three years she has been spending her winter holidays in St. Moritz in the most expensive hotels in the area. On her birthday he accompanies her on a helicopter flight over the mountains and during her luxurious everyday life in the 5-star hotel, including a photo shoot (with @andrea_furger_photography on Instagram). Dennis also meets a head concierge at the luxury hotel Kulm, who tells Dennis about the special wishes of the hotel guests and shows him around the rooms of the hotel. A place where no wish seems to be left unfulfilled.
