Miami Attraction

Delivering a contemporary comic style illustration for the cover art, Cat has brought together some key figures on the Miami rich-list including Jeff Bezos with the news of his $79million mansion purchase.

 

It's also reported that there are now 12 billionaires resident in Miami, making it a hotspot for the rich, the city also contains the largest share of America’s centimillionaires.

 

The magazine says - Our cover story this time – in case you missed it, in all its pink-and-orange glory – sees Spear’s contributing editor Robert Jackman jet off to Miami to discover why it has become a hotspot for the world’s super-rich and famous over the past few years. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is among those to have upped sticks, recently buying a $79 million home in the neighbourhood known as ‘Billionaire Bunker’, but he’s far from the only boldface name to have made the move. As Robert hears, it’s not all a bed of roses and friendly tax legislation. There are concerns about a bubble in the city’s real estate market and fears about the consequences of climate change. After all, some parts of the metropolis are – literally – built on sand. The illustration is supplied by the brilliant Cat Sims, who takes inspiration from an unusual source: the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
