Billionaires On Vacation
From the ski slopes of Aspen and Gstaad to the beaches of Mustique and the Hamptons, instead of staying at a resort many billionaires (and millionaires) prefer to own multiple homes around the world--partly because it's always nicer to sleep in your own bed and partly because, well, they can. Of course, when you're an ultra-high net-worth individual your home can be as big as a resort--and also as luxurious, complete with maid service, golf, tennis and a private chef. But not always. Sometimes even the superrich like to take a vacation and go somewhere new--without necessarily having to buy the whole thing. One such billionaire is no. 45 on the Forbes 400, Perot Systems (nyse: PER - news - people ) head Ross Perot. The two-time presidential candidate who has a fortune estimated at $3.7 billion, calls The Greenbrier in West Virginia his "all-time favorite place to vacation." And even if you didn't make it on the Forbes 400 list this year, it's still possible to vacation as if you did. Forbes.com has selected the vacation spots of some of the best-known people on the Forbes 400 list. Click on the thumbnail for more information.
