Check. Building a makeshift gallery for a client\u2019s private art viewing in less than a day? Done.<\/p>\n Million Dollar Luxe was born from a simple observation: ultra-wealthy travellers were spending hundreds of thousands on their accommodations, only to arrive to the same bottle of Veuve in a stainless-steel ice bucket. \u201cThe homes were gorgeous, but the experiences were generic,\u201d says Anatoli Kouzine. \u201cPeople wanted more. They wanted their own version of luxury.\u201d So, the team started designing that version.<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Million Dollar Luxe @milliondollarluxe<\/span><\/p>\n At any given time, they\u2019re juggling a dozen high-touch itineraries, each tailored to the quirks and cravings of a private clientele. That might mean re-outfitting an entire estate in white roses where 2,000 stems were sourced within hours. Or securing $30,000 worth of candles to line a driveway with flickering light before a guest\u2019s grand entrance. \u201cWe\u2019re always on the edge of art and emergency,\u201d says Drabkin.<\/p>\n Their client list includes Grammy winners, tech billionaires, and discreet moguls. The one thing they all share? An expectation that anything is possible. That includes a nocturnal artist who needed a 20,000-square-foot villa blacked out completely to accommodate his reverse schedule. Within hours, the team had it sealed in shadow.<\/p>\n At the core of the business is a deep knowledge of lifestyle codes. How to make a home feel like your home, even if it\u2019s a new one each week. That means sourcing rare wines, curating niche playlists, programming wellness itineraries with elite practitioners, and even swapping mattresses to match preferred firmness. Every detail matters.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve also built an unrivalled Rolodex of talent. Chefs, sommeliers, curators, Reiki masters, and micro-niche DJs, all on speed dial.<\/p>\n This is not the kind of business that sleeps. Phone calls come in from five time zones, and requests arrive by way of assistants, agents, and sometimes cryptic emojis. \u201cWe live in a group chat that never ends,\u201d they say. But the rush is worth it. \u201cWhen you see someone walk into a space that\u2019s been designed just for them, the look on their face says it all.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Million Dollar Luxe @milliondollarlux<\/span><\/p>\n The duo has big plans for what\u2019s next, including expanding their operations into new regions. Think: curated fashion weeks, culinary residencies, even immersive wellness sabbaticals, all in the comfort of a private estate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marina Drabkin’s Million Dollar Luxe curates bespoke luxury for elite clients\u2014from $40M villas to last-minute miracles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":261,"featured_media":671919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16899],"tags":[18317,18318,18314,18315,18316],"class_list":["post-671915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-haute-partners","tag-bespoke-experiences","tag-high-net-worth-clients","tag-marina-drabkin","tag-million-dollar-luxe","tag-ultra-luxury-lifestyle"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mariana-Drabki-Luxe.jpg\")
