Brilliant, New Mexico
If you’re Ted Turner, the town of Brilliant is just another piece of your 923 square mile Vermejo Park Ranch. (To put that into perspective, Rhode Island is 1,545 square miles.) If you’re anyone else, you’ll probably never see the former coal-mining town without first making a reservation and cash deposit with Mr. Turner.
Brilliant is stocked with thousands of elk, deer, bison and trout for hunting and fishing, with bald eagles making a vibrant appearance in the New Mexico winter. This sunny, sprawling site of pastoral magnificence could be considered Heaven in the Desert.
In order to really shine, you’ve gotta have the talent, the brains, and apparently the money. Who knew Brilliant would have a cover charge? Share the spotlight with one of the richest men in the world at: 36° 57’ 33” North, 104° 32’ 8” West. Find your place, find yourself.
