MONACO — In the sun-drenched Principality of Monaco, where wealth and glamour converge against a backdrop of Mediterranean azure, a new publication has emerged as the definitive chronicle of its high society. The Monegasque™ , a magazine launched under the editorial vision of Luiz F. Costa Macambira, has swiftly become the de facto “golden key” to accessing the rarefied world of Monaco’s elite, offering an intimate glimpse into a society defined by opulence, influence, and discretion.

Since its inception, The Monegasque™  has distinguished itself not merely as a luxury publication but as a cultural artifact, blending exclusive content with collectible, iconic illustrations that capture the Principality’s unique allure. Its pages, adorned with contributions from luminaries such as H.R.H. Prince Michel of Yugoslavia, H.I.R.H. Archduke Carl Christian of Austria, and H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, alongside Formula 1 star Oscar Piastri, Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, Reebok's founder Joe Foster, and many others , have elevated it to a status few magazines achieve—a must-read for those seeking to understand the pulse of Monaco’s privileged circles.

“It’s not just a magazine; it’s a passport to a world most only dream of,” said Helga Piaget, the magazine’s environment editor and a noted advocate for sustainability. “The Monegasque™ doesn’t just report on Monaco—it embodies its spirit.”

The magazine’s rise has been meteoric. Founded by Monegasque entrepreneur Costa Macambira, a former publisher of Forbes Monaco, The Monegasque™  was conceived to fill a void in the Principality’s media landscape: a platform that reflects the sophistication and exclusivity of Monaco’s society while fostering a dialogue on art, culture, and innovation. Unlike traditional luxury publications, it eschews predictable tropes, offering instead a curated blend of personal essays, insider perspectives, and bold visuals that resonate with its affluent readership.

Its editorial board reads like a who’s who of global influence. Contributions from figures such as Jermaine Jackson, reflecting on his brother Michael’s legacy, and boxing legend Evander Holyfield, writing on discipline and triumph, lend the magazine an authenticity that transcends typical glossy fare. The inclusion of royalty and celebrities as writers—rather than mere subjects—sets The Monegasque™  apart, creating a collaborative space where the elite share their stories directly. “To have Prince Albert writing about the Olympics or Archduke Carl Christian on motorsports is extraordinary,” noted one Monaco-based art dealer. “It’s as if the Principality itself is speaking through these pages.”

The magazine’s collectible illustrations, often described as works of art, have become a hallmark. Each issue features bespoke designs that capture Monaco’s blend of tradition and modernity, from the winding streets of Monte Carlo to the grandeur of the Prince’s Palace. These visuals, paired with incisive writing, have made The Monegasque™  a coveted object, with copies often displayed as status symbols in the homes of the Principality’s elite.

Last May, during the Cannes Film Festival, The Monegasque™  received a significant accolade: inclusion in the “Top 100 Global Magazines,” a recognition that cemented its place among the world’s premier publications. The award, presented amid the festival’s glittering backdrop, underscored the magazine’s rapid ascent since its launch. “This is a testament to the vision of creating something truly unique,” Mr. Costa Macambira said in a statement. “Monaco is a microcosm of global influence, and The Monegasque™  reflects that with unmatched depth and style.”

The magazine’s appeal lies in its ability to balance accessibility with exclusivity. Available in both print and digital formats, it caters to Monaco’s ultra-high-net-worth residents while reaching a global audience eager for a window into the Principality’s world. Its coverage spans high-profile events like the Monaco Grand Prix and the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, alongside quieter moments of cultural significance, such as the Prince Pierre of Monaco Foundation’s literary initiatives. This breadth ensures its relevance to both local tastemakers and international readers.

Yet, for all its glamour, The Monegasque™  is not without critics. Some argue its focus on the elite risks alienating broader audiences, while others question whether its star-studded contributor list overshadows emerging voices. Mr. Costa Macambira counters that the magazine’s mission is to celebrate excellence, not exclusivity. “We’re telling stories that resonate universally—about creativity, ambition, and the art of living well,” he said.

As Monaco continues to draw the world’s wealthiest and most influential, The Monegasque™  is poised to remain their cultural touchstone. In a principality where discretion is currency, The Monegasque™  has unlocked a narrative that is both aspirational and authentic, securing its place as the voice of Monaco’s glittering elite.
