Gloria Guinness, a name synonymous with impeccable style and a life of international luxury, was more than just a socialite. Born Gloria Rubio y Alatorre in Mexico, her life unfolded like a captivating storybook.
Described as possessing an ethereal beauty and a certain "je ne sais quoi," Gloria's journey began amidst Mexican aristocracy. Her family lineage boasted both revolutionary zeal and wealth from sugar plantations. Marrying into European nobility three times, she first became Countess von Fürstenberg, then Princess Fakhry Bey, and finally, in 1951, she wed Thomas Guinness, the heir to the renowned brewing fortune.
Gloria wasn't merely a trophy wife. She was a muse to fashion designers like Cristóbal Balenciaga and Hubert de Givenchy, their creations adorning her perfectly proportioned frame. Her impeccable taste landed her a coveted position as a contributing editor at Harper's Bazaar, where she shared her insights on the world of fashion and international society.
Beyond fashion, Gloria was a captivating personality. Her circle of friends included literary giants like Truman Capote, who was enthralled by her effortless elegance and worldly perspective. Photographers like Cecil Beaton and Slim Aarons documented her glamorous lifestyle, capturing her against the backdrop of luxurious villas and sun-drenched beaches.
Gloria Guinness wasn't just a wealthy socialite; she was a trendsetter, a cultural influencer, and a tastemaker. Her life, a captivating mosaic of international connections, exquisite fashion, and jet-set living, inspires even today.

Great video! Beautiful shots of the property, but not so accurate, this is actually depicting the William Ziff home, when Guinness owned it, it looked very different and nowhere near the size, I worked on the property during the renovation, I designed the gym for the Ziff during the construction. Nevertheless, beautiful footage of the property, truly an amazing estate!

A real Shang-Ri-La

Since it was sold around 2021 for $95M, to some tech billionaire, I’ve heard they’ve ripped out a lot of the stuff shown here. Like the golf hole(s), tennis/basketball courts and a lot more. Without a drone or actually being on the property it’s hard to see anything. Ocean Drive runs right through the middle of it but you can’t see anything while driving because it’s walled on both sides and all the vegetation blocking any views.

This is the second video describing her as "Mexican born". So she's a MEXICAN??

[@lauralintonmacfarlane5264]

Not an escape to enjoy, a hard working job in running a hotel business, no thanks

[@garykarel6809]

I live near this home and it is not a hotel. It’s a private residence and it’s amazing and they have wonderful staff that take care of it.

This was only one of her five vacation houses. Her most fabulous one was probably the one in Acapulco. I used to go to parties thrown in places like this when I was younger and only staff did housework. You might enjoy photos by Slim Aarons that showcased these beautiful gatherings. He spent his life flying around the world photographing this lifestyle. Many of the photos shown here are not at all her style. Hers was colorful and vibrant, like her upbeat personality, whereas later iterations show a gray/beige, rather sad version.

I was never one for attaining lots of money and possessions. After all, you can’t take any of it with you. Also, I know that anyone who likes me doesn’t like me for my money because, obviously, I haven’t any. 😅

[@robertknitzer7588]

Too big for me.

[@ashleyullrich9214]

They lost me at her being “A Swan”, gross!
