What Robb Report does

Robb Report is a luxury lifestyle media brand founded in 1976 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with a secondary office in New York. The company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation (PMC), a diversified media conglomerate. Robb Report targets ultra-high-net-worth individuals through editorial content spanning motors (cars, aviation, marine, motorcycles), travel, style, watches and jewelry, real estate, gear, and food and drink. Its content is distributed across a multi-channel digital platform including robbreport.com, print and digital magazine editions, email newsletters, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X, YouTube), and video programming.

The company's core products include the flagship Robb Report Magazine (print and digital subscriptions), RR1 (a private membership club), The Vault (a curated e-commerce marketplace for luxury goods), and the 672 Wine Club (a wine subscription service). Robb Report also generates significant value through its annual Best of the Best awards program and exclusive experiential events including House of Robb, Masters of Luxury summits, and Palace Prive. The brand maintains a global footprint through international licensing partnerships with local publishers in 22 countries across 100 markets, including India (RPSG Lifestyle Media), China (Trends Media Group), Germany (Jahreszeiten Verlag), Hong Kong (Nexus Media), Australia/NZ (Kanebridge Media), and Malaysia/Singapore/Vietnam (Media Publishares).

Robb Report's revenue model is diversified across six streams: (1) magazine subscriptions (recurring); (2) advertising and brand partnerships targeting affluent consumers; (3) e-commerce transactions through The Vault; (4) ticket and sponsorship revenue from events and experiences; (5) international licensing royalties; and (6) strategic brand investments (e.g., the January 2026 investment in Cygnet Welsh luxury gin). In February 2025, the brand expanded into India through its licensing partnership with RPSG Lifestyle Media. The company employs 101-250 people and is positioned as a leading authority in the global luxury media segment.
