She Grew Up in a Log Cabin in Canada. Now She’s Booking Wild Parties for the Ultrarich.
Olivia Ferney is setting Guinness World Records for clients who think nothing of spending six figures on a single night.
Three years ago, Olivia Ferney didn’t know the difference between a Gulfstream and the Gulf of Mexico. Now she’s a luxury-travel specialist booking $2.25 million yacht rentals for clients who think nothing of the price tag, according to the .
Not bad for the Canadian daughter of school teachers who grew up in a log cabin. Her most recent stunt was a Vegas party for a med-tech entrepreneur celebrating a $150 million deal. His only instruction was that he wanted “something crazy.” Ferney delivered a Guinness World Record for “largest champagne presentation,” 2,800 guests, 69 servers dousing the crowd in Dom Pérignon, and a final champagne bill of $226,000.Â
Ferney’s company, Top Tier Travel, charges clients a $100,000 annual fee plus a $1 million yearly travel minimum. In return, they get things like a same-day private jet or the largest croissant in Paris, flown in for a billionaire’s daughter. Ferney and her business partner and fiancé, Troy Arnold, have turned the job into a media empire of its own: more than 2 million social media followers, a spot on Time’s list of top digital influencers, and a scripted TV deal with the studio behind “Severance” and “Killing Eve.”
