In this issue, Haute Living identifies the biggest and brightest, most philanthropic, most fabulous and most important individuals in Los Angeles and Orange County. In addition to the familiar faces like Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, you’ll find new entrants like Jennifer Lawrence, Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs and our cover star, L.A. Clippers Captain Chris Paul.

You’ll see why we’ve chosen to put Chris Paul on our cover after you read our feature; he’s truly one of the most decent, honest, devoted family men we’ve met – which is all the more surprising given his star power. “As I’ve gotten a little bit older,” he says. “I’ve begun to understand what’s important. You realize that other people’s opinions shouldn’t really affect you, and that you shouldn’t really worry about what others are going to say.”

In this issue we’ve also chosen to feature a few members of our Haute 100 list that we deemed worthy of individual attention. Those few include philanthropist and businessman Henry T. Segerstrom, who made Orange County into a high-end cultural destination, as well as Alli Webb, the founder of Drybar.
