Diddy Does Vodka: Ciroc

Don't call Sean "Diddy" Combs a celebrity endorser. He prefers the term "luxury brand builder" and his latest endeavor involves some high-end vodka. He has just signed a multiyear deal to develop Diageo PLC's superpremium Ciroc vodka. And he isn't just putting his name behind the bottle. Combs plans to be very involved in all aspects of the development, focusing on attracting the "movers and shakers" of the vodka drinking world. "They're looking for something that tastes like their lifestyle," he said. "It's that trendsetter, that hipster, someone who's looking for luxury and looking for something better." If all goes well, Comb's 50-50 share of the profits could ultimately net him more than $100 million.

Stealth Wealth: Bontoni - Custom Made Shoes

Bontoni is a third-generation Italian family manufacturer of fine hand-crafted men's shoes, based in the Marche region of Italy. Until 2004, Bontoni created their objects of art only for a limited number of friends. They soon realized that there was an opportunity to broaden their offering to others -wherever they may be- who also would value the art of hand-made elegance. Inspired by Italy’s 1950’s iconic jet-set era, the Bontoni style merges the past with the present, the simple with the sophisticated, and the discreet with the bold.

A Bontoni ready-to-wear shoe takes 9 weeks to make. Bontoni’s modest workshop, or bottega, finishes anywhere from 7-11 pair a day. Beyond their distinctive hand-crafted approach, it is Bontoni’s superb hand-finishing and antiquing that is truly exquisite-and remarkable. Striking patinas on buttery soft calf-skin leathers are the hallmarks of a Bontoni shoe. While the name is still obscure, the brand is creating a real stir and a following. The shoes are featured in some of the most renowned clothing stores including Wilkes Bashford, Stanley Korshak, and Mario’s. Beginning in August 2007, Bontoni will make its debut at Bergdorf Goodman New York. Prices for ready-to-wear start at $995, while custom prices begin at $3,500.

Cabin Fever: Private Luxury at 30,000 Feet

From our friends at Urban Daddy

Owning your own jet is definitely on your personal to-do list—but quite frankly, who has time for all the paperwork?
To travel like a media mogul without the army of lawyers required to purchase your own Boeing 757, consider Jumpjet.

Arriving just in time for your summer travel plans, Jumpjet is the first company to offer private jet travel for about the cost of first-class airfare. For an initial fee of $500 and monthly dues starting at around $2,000, you can schedule two roundtrip domestic flights per month (international flights begin in August)—and you can bring up to three guests aboard at no extra charge (after all, if your friends can't come, is it really flying?). To reserve, call Jumpjet 5-14 days before your departure and they'll match your itinerary and party size with an appropriate crew and aircraft—they have everything from a 5-passenger Citation One to a 16-passenger Falcon 900. Unless another member is headed to Aspen the same day you are, you'll have the jet all to yourself.

There's no lengthy security procedure, and no two-hour waits at the gate (your cab can pull up at Teterboro 15 minutes before takeoff). Plus, having your own luxury cruiser means the end of trapped hours with long-winded middle managers from Detroit—and the start of some quality time with a few more intriguing options.

Like, say, bringing on board all the 26-ounce liquid containers you want.

THE DADDY HOOKUP: We know it's just pennies to you, but if you tell Jumpjet you're with UD, they'll extend their $1,500/month introductory rate through Friday and throw in an extra month for free.

Nikki Beach Hotels

Club brand Nikki Beach has announced that they are getting into the hotel biz. If you aren't familiar with Nikki Beach they have a whole set of clubs in the hot places people like to party such as Miami, Sardinia, Cabo San Lucas and St. Tropez which cater to the wannabe Paris Hiltons of the world. The company is now planning hotels in eight key spots: Reno (Nevada); Sal (Cape Verde, Africa); Sao Vicente (Cape Verde, Africa); Playa del Carmen (Mexico); Panama City (Panama); Playa Blanca (Panama) and Portimao (Portugal). Most of the planned resorts will be condo-hotels and several will also have a casino. The resorts will have five-star amenities, 24-hour concierge service, VIP Ultra Lounge, personalized in-room music selection and 24-hour maid service and pillow menu. Guests will also have the option of getting met at the airport by a Nikki Beach host and a personal butler to see to all their getaway needs.

The Miami Herald reported that the company plans to spin out an impressive 25 to 30 properties over the next five years, says Gary Sims, partner and president of the new hotels division. The hotel in Reno will be on the top three floors of the existing Grand Sierra Hotel creating a separate boutique hotel. There are also plans for a Nikki Beach cruise ship that will take people from party location to party location which will launch in 2008..

Ace Hotel in Seattle

Between the W Group's Aloft chain and Westin's designer spin-off, Element, 2007 is shaping up as the year budget boutique hotels go mass. First to market, though, is the Ace Hotel Group, which is opening a new outpost in downtown Portland this month after winning fans (and serious design props) with their first property, the Ace Hotel in Seattle. Hoping to replicate their "modern bohemia" aesthetic, co-owners
Alex Calderwood, Wade Weigel, and Doug Herrick gutted a 1912 building (formerly the Clyde Hotel), while preserving and restoring its original moldings, vanities, and claw-foot bathtubs. In lieu of fancy Frette linens, each of the 79 rooms boasts customized wool blankets from the city's own Pendleton Mills, as well as handpicked vintage furniture and art from local up-and-coming painters and photographers. The results are rustic without being rough, and current without being trendy. Even better, basic rooms start at just $85 a night. Look for future Aces in other Northwest destinations—San Francisco and Vancouver are in the works, though be warned: Those may well run you a full three figures.

The Ace Hotel Portland, basic rooms from $85, 1022 SW Stark St., (503) 228-2277, www.acehotel.com.
