Show Notes

St. Barts is more than just an island—it is a story of resilience, reinvention, and exclusivity. From its colonial past to its rise as a luxury escape for the world’s elite, this Caribbean gem has always been a place where history and modernity collide.But now, as climate change, billionaire real estate takeovers, and the pressures of extreme wealth reshape the island, the question remains: Will St. Barts remain a paradise for all, or will it become a billionaire’s private playground?
Can the island protect its heritage, culture, and people while catering to the ultra-wealthy?
Will rising sea levels and climate threats erase the island’s beauty forever?The battle for St. Barts’ future is not just about luxury—it is about identity. It is about who truly owns the island and whether its soul can survive the forces of modern capitalism and environmental destruction.
