How do High Net Worth Individuals engage with today’s complex media ecosystem?  

According to Bain & Company, global luxury advertising spend has surpassed $11 billion, with a growing share shifting to digital and experiential platforms. This signals a clear need for brands to understand how affluent audiences consume media and which formats actually drive impact. 

The rapid rise of AI-generated content, the growing dominance of short-form video, and the fragmentation of digital platforms have significantly altered how media is produced, distributed and consumed. Traditional media touchpoints are being reassessed, and affluent audiences are increasingly selective about where they invest their attention and trust. In such a fragmented and fast-evolving context, understanding which platforms, publications and formats capture the attention and trust of wealthy individuals has become a strategic imperative. 

To continue supporting these needs, Altiant is launching the third edition of its Millionaire Media Consumption (MMC) research, one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind. This year, its depth will grow even further with the addition of two new markets, making it an indispensable resource for any brand looking to reach the world’s most influential consumers.
