Montecito: A Celebrity Paradise That’s Surprisingly Under the Radar

Hillside homes in this Santa Barbara, California, area have to-die-for views and lots of space for running around.

The secluded hillside estates in Montecito, which lies 80 miles west of Los Angeles, between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains in California’s Santa Barbara County, are a paradise for Hollywood stars and the super rich who want to live in splendid isolation.

Chic, yet somewhat under the radar, the area has a mellow vibe, with sun-drenched tranquil beaches, a Mediterranean climate and a beautiful natural setting that draws comparisons with the South of France and Tuscany.

Sizing up the homes of Bill Gates and other top members of the new Forbes 400 list.

Have you checked the newest “Forbes 400: The Full List of The Richest People in America” yet?

Surprise, Bill Gates, with a net worth of $81 billion, is ranked No. 1 for the 23rd year running. Meanwhile, his friend Warren Buffett fell to third place for the first time in 15 years with a net worth of $65.5 billion.

Thanks to soaring stock prices of hot tech firms, CEOs at the helm of those companies seem to have been accumulating wealth at a much faster pace than others. Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos gained $20 billion to boost his net worth to $67 billion, making him the second-richest person in the U.S.

A LEGENDARY 1920S PALM BEACH HOUSE IS A SHOWCASE FOR A STRIKING ART COLLECTION

Restored to its former glory, art adviser Heidi McWilliams’s home is a stunning backdrop for her wide range of works.

About four years ago, Heidi McWilliams, a Manhattan art adviser, and her husband, a financier, decided they might like to rent a furnished apartment in Palm Beach for a month or so. They had spent a significant amount of time over the years visiting the elegant community, with its wide boulevards, genteel tree-lined downtown, and bubbling social scene. McWilliams, who owned an art gallery in New York until 2009, has many clients and friends in the area. Although the couple live much of the year in an Upper East Side building originally designed by socialite and etiquette guru Emily Post and spend summers in an Ital­ianate mansion overlooking the ocean in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, they were hoping to escape the worst of winter.
