If there’s one musician who has made the most of one song in the history of musicians it’s Jimmy Buffet. The song “Margaritaville” is not only a tremendous hit but it’s spawned a virtual money making machine for Jimmy Buffett ever since the song was released. Granted Buffet also sings “Cheeseburger in Paradise” but make no mistake about it, he’s known for “Margaritaville” and it’s because of that song that Buffett as an estimate net worth of $550 million. Guess what Beyonce’s net worth is. $290 million.
While I wouldn’t call Jimmy Buffett a “one hit wonder” he’s far and away the most successful musician who’s taken one song as far as you could possibly go. His empire of Margaritaville restaurants, hotels and casinos have been cash cows for years and the Margaritaville name continues to expand. Now as it turns out you’ll be able to retire to Margaritaville.
Soon, you’ll be able to live exactly that lifestyle in the upcoming Latitude Margaritaville, a senior-living community by Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville company.
Construction has already started on the $1 billion project, which is expected to have 6,900 homes in a community based on Buffett’s no-worries vibe. Latitude Margaritaville will offer residents walkable neighborhoods and a town center with a fitness facility, indoor lap pool, and spa. Signature Margaritaville food and drinks (margaritas every day, anyone?), a band shell for live entertainment, a resort pool, and a private beachfront club on the Atlantic (which residents can reach by shuttle service) round out the toes-in-the-sand feel.
According to CityLab, the village will be restricted to residents age 55 and older. And while no one is promising that Jimmy will make an appearance, you never know-anything can happen in Margaritaville.
Now THAT’s a place I’d like to waste away in.
