Celebs are ditching St-Tropez for Ibiza and Mykonos
Even Leonardo DiCaprio has cut back on his time there, canceling his star-studded environmental benefit gala usually held in late July.
“Without Leo’s party, a lot of the American richies who would fly in for it have gone elsewhere, too,” a local told me.
“Plus, folks are really tired of getting robbed here. Burglars hit the posh villas here nightly, drug you while you’re sleeping, and clean you out — Hermès bags, Vuitton luggage, jewelry, watches, cash. The super-rich are going other places where crime isn’t such a big problem.”
Russian oligarchs are most conspicuous in their absence. “A couple of years ago, everywhere you went, you heard Russian,” said my source. “Not this year.”
Vlad Doronin, Naomi Campbell’s onetime boyfriend, is keeping his yacht Domino in Ibiza this summer, and Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov was recently there on his yacht Palladium, Tatler Russia reports. Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio seems to have ditched the French mainland, too, in favor of the Spanish isle of Ibiza.
Roman Abramovich, who owns the Château de la Croë in Cap d’Antibes, seems to be the last oligarch on the French Riviera. His yacht Eclipse was anchored in Pampelonne Bay in July.
