A Canonical List of Rich People Shit: June Edition
Plus: a celebrity calling the Nantucket Police Department, a nepo-baby at Wimbledon, an Aspen hotel going International, and more.
It’s a little later than usual, but between the holiday and the fact that July seemed determined to keep making news well into August, our monthly Rich People Shit accounting of the stories that dominated conversations took a beat. We could have skipped straight to everything that’s already happened this month, but we’d be remiss not to look back first. June was too big a month to ignore.
We had The Tell dispute escalating with Amy Griffin’s defamation countersuit, Peter Thiel’s invite-only network DIALOG suffering a data leak, Anthony Haden-Guest suing Libbie Mugrabi over what he alleges was a years-long campaign of harassment and defamation, the Knicks ending a 53-year championship drought, FIFA expanding the World Cup once again, Jonathan Anderson’s first Dior collection, Spencer Pratt coming surprisingly close to a place in Los Angeles’s mayoral runoff, and SpaceX finally going public in one of the biggest IPOs in history. And that’s just a few of the big things that happened.
So before we start thinking about July’s list—which is already giving June a run for its money—here’s everything people couldn’t stop talking about (in both loud and hushed tones) last month.
Today’s newsletter is jam-packed, since I’m a day or two behind. It’s got a celebrity calling the Nantucket Police Department, a nepo-baby at Wimbledon, an Aspen hotel going international, details on the official Palm Beach International airport name change, my latest piece of writing on luxury places across the country to fly-fish and more.
