Revealed: The most tax-friendly state in America where the ultra-wealthy are flocking for business
Wyoming is rapidly establishing itself as a top destination for ultra-wealthy individuals and businesses, drawn by its tax advantages and high-end real estate market. As one of nine US states with no state income tax, Wyoming offers significant financial incentives for affluent residents. Additionally, the state's Dynasty Trust laws allow families to transfer wealth across generations while avoiding estate, inheritance and state income taxes - further solidifying its status as a tax shelter. The state's appeal is amplified by its business-friendly environment and low property taxes, attracting both individuals and companies seeking to minimize their tax burdens. 'Wyoming is the most tax-friendly state,' Latham Jenkins, a real estate agent with Live Water Jackson Hole told 'Retirement benefits are not taxed at the state level, and it's one of the most business-friendly states in the nation.' Wyoming's luxury real estate market is also thriving. The state's appeal is amplified by its business-friendly environment and low property taxes, attracting both individuals and companies seeking to minimize their tax burdens. Pictured: A luxury home under construction near Jackson, Wyoming Although the state's overall housing inventory is limited, its high-end listings stand out. Approximately three percent of active listings in Wyoming are priced over $5 million - ranking significantly higher than neighboring states such as Idaho at 1.3 percent and Montana at 1.9 percent. The Teton County area - home to Jackson Hole, a world-class skiing destination - dominates the high-priced market, with 57 of the 69 listings above $5 million, reported. Aside from its proximity to the top-rated Jackson Hole Mountain resort, the region's appeal to the ultra-wealthy is driven by its exclusivity, stunning landscapes, and celebrity presence, with A-listers like Harrison Ford, Sandra Bullock, and Kanye West reportedly owning property in the area. The median listing price in Teton County sits at $2.95 million, while the state's median is $495,000. The area's limited land availability, with 97 percent of Teton County federally protected, further drives up demand, making it an attractive option for wealthy buyers. Despite strong demand, luxury homes in Wyoming tend to stay on the market longer than in other states. Properties priced at $5 million or more have a median listing period of 187 days, compared to 81 days in Idaho and 114 days in Montana, according to the real estate outlet. The state's extended timeline reflects a market where sellers, often without mortgages, are less inclined to lower prices, leading to a more patient and strategic selling process. Wyoming's luxury real estate market is also thriving. Pictured: The entrance to the Diamond G Ranch near Dubois, Wyoming which was on sale for $71 million in July 2022 In Teton County, 33.1 percent of listings were priced above $5 million as of May, suggesting a growing influx of high-net-worth individuals. Pictured: Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming Margi Barrie, associate broker with Prugh Real Estate, notes that sellers are in no rush. 'People are more bullish in their prices, and more confident. A lot of people aren't leveraged on their property so that they can sell them, or not,' she explained to In Teton County, 33.1 percent of listings were priced above $5 million as of May, suggesting a growing influx of high-net-worth individuals. However, the lack of price reductions indicates that many sellers are not eager to exit the market quickly. The northwestern state's combination of tax advantages, business-friendly policies, and a high-demand luxury real estate market make it an increasingly attractive destination for the ultra-wealthy.

The Wyoming Town For All Seasons
No matter if it's warm or wintry, Jackson Hole is a wildly entertaining destination. Here's an interesting fact about Jackson Hole, Wyoming: Teton is the wealthiest county in the country, with a median household income of $1.3 million. And did you know that Yellowstone Park, just an hour from the center of Jackson, is the world's first national park? Another interesting piece of trivia is that Jackson Hole Airport sits inside Grand Teton National Park, making it the only commercial airport in the United States that can state such a claim. This convergence of Mother Nature and modernity makes Jackson Hole — to be clear, Jackson Hole is the 42-mile-long valley between the Teton and Gros Ventre mountains that holds Jackson, other towns, the airport, the parks and ski resorts within it — one of the most popular destinations in the country for an elevated winter getaway. But here's another fascinating factoid: Jackson Hole is far from being a destination that only delivers in the chilly months. With outstanding fishing, awesome bike trails and some great shopping, the region wants you to know that it looks good in flip-flops and fast-drying shorts, too. Hotel Yellowstone gracefully sits atop East Gros Ventre Butte. Whenever the wind blows you in the direction of this scenic stretch of the West, reserve accommodations at Hotel Yellowstone at Jackson Hole. Sitting on four acres of sophisticated solitude that opened in August 2024, this adults-only retreat already has weekend cowboys screaming its praises from the top of Mount Owen. The hotel's nine cabin-like structures contain 36 elegantly appointed suites that sprout from the elevated terrain like Douglas firs. The interiors blend in with the rugged outdoors seamlessly thanks to generous patios, fur-covered chairs and dark wooden headboards. But no matter how much you're in awe of the swaying cottonwoods, the Calacatta marble baths can't be ignored. Nor can the toiletries from Swedish brand Byredo or the electronic toilets from Toto. You're in the rough, sure, but there's no roughing it. As the mercury rises outside, so too does the number of activities that can be arranged by the resort. It doesn't matter if you're trying to get wet (tubing down the Snake River), wild (side-by-side UTV ranch tours), a little romantic (a charcuterie-and-wine picnic at Grand Teton), or if you're do something in the morning (complimentary breakfast from onsite all-day eatery Olivia's) or the evening (the Suite Dreams add-on includes items like an aromatherapy turndown and magnesium L-threonate packets), the hotel has you covered this summer. Find nature near your suite or on a summer excursion. In town, seasonal fun can be had with live music (Concert on the Commons summer series, Sundays through August 17), major art events (Fall Arts Festival, September 5 to 14) and theatrical productions (Jackson Hole Playhouse's Cat Ballou, through September 27). Just a few miles from Jackson's Town Square sits the National Elk Refuge. When it's warmer, the namesake deer may migrate away, but bighorn sheep, eagles and coyotes can still be captured by cameras. And the cutthroat trout always seem to be biting this time of year at the refuge's Flat Creek. You'll have to work a bit for a shot at the elusive bison, but you'll get your Ansel Adams moment with a little patience and a lot of luck. See plenty of bighorn sheep during a wintertime day safari. When the snow starts falling, the scene around Hotel Yellowstone looks like something straight from a Taylor Sheridan storyboard. The Teton Range, covered in powder, amazes as far as the eye can see. In the valley below, herds of cattle can be seen moseying about. On the property grounds, things are just as tranquil. Back in the suites, you'll find heated bathroom floors and gas fireplaces. At Olivia's, the menu runneth over with soothing options like lobster mac, baked crap dip and duck confit empanadas. Over in the spa, you'll not only find an outdoor sauna — it's five steps in the snow to get there — but a treatment menu of warm services like the hot stone-aided therapeutic massage as well. People come from all over to experience Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Like in July or August, the hotel can arrange day trips to one of the national parks with Backcountry Safaris in December and January. Sure, you could take your rented SUV and fend for yourself at Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Park, but without one of Backcountry's expert guides, you'll likely overlook the moose kneeling in the snow-topped brush and miss the best angles to capture lockscreen-worthy shots from the Jackson Lake Dam and Reservoir. But what's wintertime in Wyoming without the slopes? Jackson Hole remains one of the country's premier options for downhill fun because of its trio of ski resorts: Grand Targhee Resort, Snow King Resort and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The latter is a perennial favorite for its vast and varied terrain. It has an avalanche of après-ski options, too. Offering adult sloshies (Mangy Moose), slow-braised elk (Spur Restaurant & Bar) and fresh sakura rolls (Shin Shin), the bars and restaurants in Teton Village are attractions themselves. Jackson's Town Square is quite the sight when it's snowing. The same goes for spots around Jackson's Town Square. There are quaint shops and little restaurants that give the area a quintessential small-town feel. Come Christmas, though, all eyes move to the four twinkling archways at the corners of the square. These aren't just any arches, though. These are made of shed antlers that area Boy Scouts have collected over the years. The unique displays are easily some of Jackson Hole's most photographed scenes. Another big Town Square draw is Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. The iconic address' upstairs is all about pitchers of local wheat ales and country DJs spinning Morgan Wallen hits, yet the basement steakhouse is where the sweet tunes from the sizzling stovetop can be heard. But here's the thing about juicy, chimichurri-topped rib-eyes: they taste great no matter if the temperature is a blistering 20 F degrees or a balmy 83.

Castle Peak Holdings raises $315m to expand Trailborn brand in the U.S.
Castle Peak Holdings closes $315m. fund to expand Trailborn hospitality brand, focusing on upscale experiences in iconic U.S. outdoor destinations. NEW YORK – Castle Peak Holdings, the investment firm behind the Trailborn hospitality brands, announced the successful close of its second vehicle with total committed capital of $315 million raised over a 4 month period. The firm's recent acquisition of Snow King Resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, marks the first investment of this new vehicle and expands Castle Peak's portfolio of hotels and resorts in iconic outdoor destinations across the United States. Launched in 2021 by two Goldman Sachs alums, Castle Peak designed a unique playbook to create and scale niche real estate platforms. This playbook, which is premised on fundamental supply demand imbalances, deep sector specialization, and a 'one at a time' approach, combines real estate value creation with platform value creation to deliver outsized investment outcomes. Trailborn is the first embodiment of Castle Peak's playbook and the singular focus of the firm today. Trailborn brings a new level of hospitality to extraordinary outdoor destinations where it doesn't currently exist with lively, elevated hotels designed to help travelers rediscover the beauty of America. Each property offers a guided experience, led by passionate local experts who curate recommendations, excursions, and essential amenities for an unforgettable stay. 'Closing this vehicle is a testament to the durability of our model and the belief that exceptional outcomes come from doing the hard work ourselves – strategically, creatively, and operationally,' said Ben Weinberg, co-founder and co-CEO of Castle Peak Holdings. 'We're a team of deep sector specialists, and we believe our relentless, singular focus positions us for success in this type of environment.' 'Where and how people travel is evolving, but what drives them to do so isn't – the desire to create lifelong memories with those they love. We're tapping into this by building brands that unlock extraordinary adventures in iconic outdoor destinations,' said Mike Weiss, co-founder and co-CEO of Castle Peak Holdings. 'We're energized by the level of excitement Trailborn has continued to receive from both investors and guests alike. This new infusion of capital will allow us to continue to scale Trailborn's approach to experiencing the great outdoors and deliver customers what they've been searching for.' Since launching, Trailborn has seen rapid momentum, earning a loyal following from travelers seeking meaningful connection in nature without sacrificing quality or experience. In 2024, Trailborn entered into a long-term agreement with Marriott to add Trailborn's portfolio to Marriott's system. Additionally, in just over a year, Trailborn has opened five distinct properties, including Trailborn Rocky Mountains & Trailborn Rocky Mountains Outpost in Estes Park, Colorado; Trailborn Highlands in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains; Trailborn Surf & Sound in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina; and most recently, Trailborn Grand Canyon in Williams, Arizona. Trailborn has additional properties debuting in Mendocino, California, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, within the next year.

Will America's National Parks Survive Trump?
Like a cinnamon river overflowing its banks, thousands of elk have been making their way across Jackson Hole, Wyo., to their summer range below the high, jagged peaks of Grand Teton National Park. This is one of the world's most spectacular migrations, protected by the creation and expansion over the last half century of what is now a 485-square-mile park. As the weather has warmed, cars and vans carrying tourists from far and wide have been lining the roads, watching and photographing the elk and keeping an eye out for wolves, bears, moose, deer, bison and pronghorn antelope. With more than 3.6 million visitors last year, Grand Teton is one of the most popular national parks. In 2023, the $738 million spent by these tourists in nearby hotels, restaurants and shops supported more than 9,300 regional jobs — not a bad return for a park that runs on a budget of about $15 million a year. The pattern is similar across America. That same year, the most recent for which figures are available, the 325 million visitors to national parks, monuments and historic sites spent an estimated $26.4 billion in surrounding communities. Visits to the parks swelled last year to a record of nearly 332 million. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
