The digital age is conquering everything, including the once ubiquitous print magazines and publications. In trying to keep up with the latest technologies, publishers across the world move in unison with their audience, and that means more to the digital space of high tech and uber connected devices and gadgets and less to physical world of print publishing.

Although that’s not a bad thing, there are still some people out there who value high quality prints and that feeling of holding a premium magazine in their hands, a sensory experience that no smartphone or tablet can ever replace, no matter how high end they are. As you might expect it, most of these people are the rich and famous, the ones who can afford to always focus on quality rather than quantity. And that’s everything lifestyle publishers and luxury brands out there want to hear.

That doesn’t mean that the print versions exclude the digital, on the contrary, the publishers offer both options but no matter the medium, sophisticated luxury lifestyle magazines are what the wealthy read on a daily basis.

We already know that Luxatic.com is one of the world’s most popular online luxury magazines, but we were still curious to find out what are the top choices of the rich and famous, when they’re on vacation on their private islands and mega yachts, or flying around the world in their private jets.
