It's Hard To Choose An Iconic Hotel Some Of These Cities
The Most Iconic Hotel in Every State
California
- Beverly Hills Hotel
- Beverly Hills
- Opened: 1912
In a state as vast and iconic as California, there are bound to be some
snubs. The Coronado in San Diego, the Claremont in Berkeley, the
Biltmore in Santa Barbara. But nowhere exudes Hollywood celebrity like
the Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalows, a 208-room, 28-bungalow
pink-and-green legend that fueled celebrity gossip decades before TMZ.
This is the place where John Lennon and Yoko Ono holed up for weeks to
escape the press. Where Nixon's chief of staff learned about Watergate,
and where the picture on the cover of the Eagles' Hotel California was shot. You can check it out anytime you like.
Nevada
- Bellagio
- Las Vegas
- Opened: 1998
In a city filled with famous structures from other cities, perhaps the
most recognizably Vegas are the fountains outside this 3,950-room
behemoth. The hotel was the setting for the remake of Ocean's 11,
and is probably the most photographed place in Sin City after the
famous welcome sign. A trip to the buffet here might be the most
overwhelming dining experience of your life. Another fun fact: The
original name of this hotel was supposed to be Beau Rivage, a name Steve
Wynn instead used for his Mississippi project, which is now the most
iconic hotel in that state.
Now I Just Need 500K To Invest
How To Make $500,000 Last Forever
The Only Reliable Retirement Solution: No Withdrawals
Rather than rely on, say, a 4% annual drawdown for income, the only dependable way to retire and stay retired is to boost your payouts so that you never have to touch your capital.
This is easier said than done, and obviously the more capital you have the better off you are. But with rates and yields so low, even rich guys have a tough time living off interest today.
You can actually live better than they can off a (much) more modest nest egg if you know where to look for lesser-known, meaningful and secure yield. I’m talking about annual income of 6%, 7% or even 8% – so that you’re banking up to $40,000 each year for every $500,000 you invest.
And you’ll never have to touch your nest egg capital – which means you’ll never have to worry about stock prices.
The only thing you need to concern yourself with is the security of your dividends. As long as your payouts are safe, who cares if your stock prices swing up or down on a given day?
Most investors know this is the right approach to retirement. Problem is, they don’t know how to find 7% and 8% yields to fund their lives.

Say What?
Fuck Yeah America! Mercedes Minivan Defeats E30 M3
People love BMW E30 M3s and people, in this one case, are not wrong. But thinking that an E30 is “special” in 2016 is like telling people you “discovered” Arcade Fire in 2016. It’s over, man.
It’s therefore with great pleasure that I can announce that someone paid $51,000 fucking American U.S. dollars for a goddamn Mercedes minivan when they could have had an E30 M3 for about $33,500.
America made the right choice. No matter how much purer the E30 feels or how many Frank Ocean videos it ends up in or any of that shit, having an R63 AMG minivan is just better. And weirder. And more special.
My faith in humanity isn’t restored, but it’s coming back just a little bit.
