The ‘billionaire summer camp’ – also known as Allen & Co.’s annual leadership retreat – has kicked off in Sun Valley, Idaho, attracting some of the world’s most important names in business.
The summer retreat includes some laid-back activities like biking and hiking, per The Observer, but most importantly, the moguls are there for business.
Also on the agenda are ‘high-level meetings and private lectures,’ the outlet reported, many of which are confidential and closed off to the public and media.
This year, the conference is rumored to host some of the biggest names in tech and media, like Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sanchez, who will be fresh from their days-long Venetian wedding extravaganza.
Other guests already spotted include Ivanka Trump, Wendi Murdoch and Gayle King.
The likes of Apple CEO Tim Cook and Disney CEO Bob Iger are also already in attendance at the multi-day event.
Streaming was a ‘major topic’ of conversation at the 2024 gathering, according to Deadline, although it’s unclear what will be on everyone’s minds this year.
In honor of one of the biggest weeks in the business world, FEMAIL has rounded up some of the best and worst dressed moguls from the week.
BEST DRESSED
Matchy-matchy! Wendi Murdoch, 56, who was the third wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, showed up to Sun Valley in a matching Gucci outfit. She wore a black tank top with red detailing around the neck, paired with a mint green, v-neck cardigan with the same red tipping on the sleeve and hem. Wendi topped things off with a cream-colored fedora hat with the same signature Gucci red stripe around it, looking put-together for her first day at Sun Valley
Elegant as ever! Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, 43, looked refreshed and ready for the week ahead in an adorable, sage green dress with sheer long sleeves. She topped it off with a Western-style silver belt, black sunglasses and chic, green hoop earrings
Summer chic! Alice and Olivia CEO Stacey Bendet Eisner, 46, looked ethereal as she wore a floral and lace striped matching set from her own brand. The top featured a deep v-neck and flutter sleeves. She paired the look with a camel-colored Hermès Birkin Bag, which she had decked out in bag charms, as well as a headband and pair of large black sunglasses
Affordable and cute! Journalist Becky Quick showed off her patriotic side on the second day of the retreat on Wednesday, as she donned a $198 red American flag sweater from Tuckernuck. She paired it with a sleek navy blue waterproof jacket and a fresh blowout
WORST DRESSED
So 2000 and late! Gayle King, 70, wore a white, v-neck dress that hit right above her knee as she arrived to Sun Valley, with a layer of long, pearl necklaces that looked like they were from a few decades ago. She topped the look off with a pair of black-and-white kitten heels with bow detailing at the toes
Giddy up! Spanx founder Sara Blakely looked ready for Sun Valley as she arrived on Tuesday to the retreat in a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and chestnut brown suede cowboy boots. The entrepreneur tied the look together with a brown cowboy hat and bold blue bracelet – meaning she has head mixed fortunes with her outfit choices so far
Boring! Apple CEO Tim Cook, 64, arrived to Sun Valley in quite a plain outfit – a black polo shirt and dark khaki pants. He accessorized with a black, over-the-shoulder briefcase and chunky white and silver Nike sneakers
Conference or vacation? CEO of Disney Bob Iger, 74, looked super casual in a white polo shirt, black exercise shorts, and navy blue Nike sneakers. He also wore a pair of black sunglasses to shield his eyes from the beaming sun
Dressed for the wrong season! Chairman and senior executive of IAC and Expedia group Barry Diller, 83, and his wife fashion designer Diane von Fusternberg, 78, were seen walking arm-in-arm on Wednesday to a morning session at the retreat. However, they looked like they were dressed for the entirely wrong season, as DVF wore an all-black ensemble topped with a white and black patterned coat, while her husband wore black jeans, a black patterned shirt and a gray rib-knit hoodie
