A tiny island in the French West Indies, St. Barthélemy was long the ugly duckling of the Caribbean, a barren volcanic rock loved by few, aside from the often-inbred descendants of the first French settlers who arrived in the 17th century. Today, St. Barth is recognized worldwide as the luxury travel destination for the super-rich.

In Treasured Island, Treasured Island: The Story of St. Barth…and Its Barbarians, Billionaires, and Beauties (June 16, 2026; Harper Collins; ISBN: 978-0063410961; $32.00; Hardcover), Gross shares 8 never revealed island secrets
