Michael Rubin gets Vanity Fair profile treatment

Fanatics founder & CEO MICHAEL RUBIN has “become relentless" about putting together the “high-end pieces of sports, business, and music” which sit in close proximity, according to Dan Adler of VANITY FAIR. Rubin purchased his $50M Bridgehampton home in 2020 and "started to host his own White Party” featuring the “eye-popping and mildly befuddling constellation of personalities he has assembled around himself." The party has “quickly picked up an aura as the sort of venue, exceedingly rare in the smartphone era,” in which Rubin’s famous pals can “truly throw caution to the wind.” The third go-around of the event in July “crystallized Rubin’s standing as a connector” while also “reaching a new level of saturation.” Some attendees included KIM KARDASHIAN, LEONARDO DICAPRIO, JAY-Z, BEYONCE, KELLY ROWLAND, BEN AFFLECK, JENNIFER LOPEZ and LIL DURK. Rubin’s gathering has become “one of the gaudiest and most heavily dissected celebrity spectacles in recent memory" (VANITY FAIR, 9/6).
