Jason Binn
Jason Binn, born in 1968 in Roslyn, New York, is the flashy impresario behind a fleet of luxury lifestyle magazines, including Hamptons and Ocean Drive. Known as a maestro of media schmooze, Binn carved out a niche for himself by blending glitz with relentless networking, eventually founding Niche Media in 1992. His publications became the coffee-table staples of the one percent, though some critics have labeled them as little more than glossy vanity projects for the rich. Binn’s career hasn’t been without controversy, with whispers of strained finances and fractured business relationships, but his knack for keeping his name—and brand—relevant remains unmatched.
