"Robin Birley is understood to be close to securing a property for his latest club, part financed by the billionaire Reuben brothers, who in 2024 were named the third-richest family in the UK by the Sunday Times Rich List. His London clubs, Oswald's and 5 Hertford Street, have welcomed the likes of Prince William, Leonardo Di Caprio and Hugh Grant."
"The Palm Beach property will be his most lavish venue yet, with plans for an outdoor swimming pool, and sources said he is in the process of looking at art and consulting top interior designers to create a more flashy, American feel."
"Birley hopes to compete with Trump's club and offer a more discreet venue for wealthy people to relax after a round of golf and party poolside."
Robin Birley, owner of exclusive London clubs Oswald's and 5 Hertford Street, is establishing a high-end private members' club in Palm Beach with backing from billionaire Reuben brothers. The venture targets wealthy British individuals relocating to Florida, capitalizing on the region's growing appeal as a political and social hub. The Palm Beach property will feature luxury amenities including an outdoor swimming pool and upscale interior design. Birley's London clubs have attracted prominent figures including Prince William and Leonardo DiCaprio, while also serving as informal gathering spaces for British right-wing politicians. The new venue aims to provide an alternative to Trump's Mar-a-Lago, offering a more discreet yet opulent setting for affluent members.
