Here's a Forbes (warning: certainly a publication funded by these ghouls) article about it. It sounds absolutely vile.

The beautiful mountain resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, will again be overwhelmed with private jets, bodyguards, and entourages, as the world's wealthiest attend the 40th annual media finance conference hosted and funded by private investment firm Allen & Company.

...

The coveted invites to the gathering went out to the top 1% of CEOs, their families, investors, and brilliant scientific minds. Most guests arrive by private jets, (which resulted in a ground stop issued by the FAA last year due to extreme congestion.) For five days, the famous moguls all wear name badges like us common folk, listen to speeches, sit in on panels about politics, healthcare, and the economy, and join in on group activities from golf to fly-fishing, hiking, and cycling.

...

The opportunity to take the layer of wealth and fame off the table allows people to really be themselves, to live in the moment, feel humbled (lmao wtf), and appreciate the simple things in life that make this place special.

...

Also invited were Lawrence Summers, Hank Paulson, former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, former CIA chief David Petraeus, Warren Buffett, former American Express chief Kenneth Chenault, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Annox Capital’s Bob Myeloid, and Facebook investor Peter Thiel.

Ghouls. Protest isn't enough, we need to [REDACTED]
