Luxury Lifestyles of Miami

When you think of celebrities and rich residents, three cities should come to mind; Los Angeles, New York City, and Miami. All three are known for being celebrity hot spots and boast lavish and luxurious lifestyles for all that can afford it. The bustle of the cities make LA and NY not exactly the best places to unwind and relax a little bit, but Miami offers a little different atmosphere. The tropical landscape of Miami makes it very popular year round for the rich and famous to spend time there.
