International luxury lifestyle authority Robb Report, in collaboration with the global wealth-intelligence firm Wealth-X, today announces the “Robb 50” list of the world’s most influential connoisseurs of art, automobiles, jewelry, watches, wine, spirits, sports memorabilia, and Thoroughbreds.

In compiling this first-ever list, Robb Report sought to identify the individuals who embody the definition of a true collector. From patrons of contemporary art to curators of the best cult Cabernet Sauvignon, Robb Report and Wealth-X salute the 50 individuals behind the world’s most prized private collections.

“These aficionados are recognized not because they own the largest or most valuable collections (though many do), but because their appreciation and detailed understanding of their chosen subjects have earned them the deep respect of their peers and industry experts,” explains Robb Report Editor in Chief Brett Anderson.

The exclusive list features well-known individuals, such as music-industry mogul David Geffen; former Tonight Show host Jay Leno; best-selling novelist Danielle Steele; and hip-hop impresario Jay Z. It also includes prominent international collectors, such as philanthropists and entrepreneurs Eli and Edythe Broad; Kendall-Jackson owner Barbara Banke; former Goldman Sachs managing director Joe Wender; Brazilian philanthropist Lily Safra; Geary’s Beverly Hills president Bruce Meyer; and socialite Dede Wilsey, a descendant of Dow Chemical’s founder.

Robb Report will unveil a robust digital version of the Robb 50 online at robbreport.com/Robb50. In addition to profiles of the 50 connoisseurs selected for the print feature, the digital version spotlights exclusive online content, including supplemental photos and in-depth commentary from leading independent experts.

Robb Report will promote coverage of the Robb 50 across social-media platforms using the hashtag #Robb50. The launch of the digital component will coincide with the debut of Robb Report‘s October issue, now on newsstands.

Robb Report is accessible to digital users via the iPad, Kindle Fire, and Nook Tablet, as well as Zinio’s online newsstand, Magzter, and Google Play.
