Wall Street + Hamptons =

In the Hamptons, Wall Street loves to spend their money. And if Memorial Day weekend is any indication, it’s going to be raining Benjamins all summer long.

This past weekend, Range Rovers were everywhere … gourmet market Citarella and Starbucks (new in Southampton) were in FULL swing … Ostentation was percolating, but not boiling yet …

I hit up some Wall Street friends across the age spectrum to find out what’s hot and how much they’re spending in the Hamptons this summer. Here’s a quick and unscientific poll:

Age: 25-29 — Transportation: Train or Jitney; Housing: Share house; Discretionary weekend spending: $1500 — the bulk of their spending is in the club.

Age: 30-40 — Transportation: car, car service and helicopter; Housing: own or rental; Discretionary weekend spending: $5,000 — the bulk of their spending is on everything.

Age: 40-50 — Transportation: helicopter or car; Housing: own; Discretionary weekend spending: $3000 — the bulk of their spending is on food, golf and transportation.
