Gilded Ground

Gilded Ground goes inside the most expensive places on Earth - and the forces quietly taking them apart. We investigate $20-60 million estates, private islands, cliffside compounds, desert enclaves and landmark towers, and what stands against them: coastal erosion, landslides, subsidence, wildfire, drought, storm surge, failing engineering, and the regulations that decide who is allowed to fight back. But this is not a tour of beautiful houses. It is about the moment enormous wealth meets something it cannot buy its way out of - when the insurer declines renewal, when the geologist's report becomes public, when the buyout offer arrives, and when an address that was an asset becomes a liability. Gilded Ground - where the money stops working.
