I just gotta laugh at some of their articles... last year there was something about buying a vineyard, lol.
Okay, so there's obviously nothing "reasonable" about owning a yacht, fractional or not. But a vineyard can be a great investment, if you have the appropriate knowledge to value and manage it. It's really not much different from any other agricultural land- whether it be row crop, pasture, orchards, or whatever. I actually know a man who got rich by convincing a banker to give him a $5 million loan to buy a peach orchard in South Carolina. He paid off the loan with profits from the orchard in 5 years. He obviously knew what he was doing, and that's the basic point.
