J.P. Morgan Private Bank holiday recommendations for the wealthy

J.P. Morgan Private Bank is out with its list of recommended holiday books and experiences for wealthy clients, and this year’s offerings include a George Clooney Broadway debut, an expanded art museum in São Paulo, Brazil, a wellness center in Manhattan and books about leadership and artificial intelligence.

The “NextList2025,” picking the most buzz-worthy books and experiences of the holiday season, includes four museums, two wineries, four Broadway shows and 10 books. To build the list, the bank received more than 1,000 submissions from client advisors based on their clients’ tastes and interests. A review committee then researches the submissions and creates the list (similar to its popular J.P. Morgan Private Bank Summer Reading List).

While the list is released by the Private Bank, it’s used across J.P. Morgan divisions with wealthy and affluent clients.

One of the chief themes of the NextList is the “next generation,” looking at how families can engage and inspire younger investors as an unprecedented number of fortunes and businesses are set to be passed down in the coming years.

“A lot of our clients are focused on their next generation, whether they’re thinking about their family business or whether they’re thinking about their operating committee,” said Darin Oduyoye, chief communications officer of JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management. “We also just think about what’s next. We are helping our clients think about their investments, their tax planning, what the next great idea is or the next great strategy.”

Here is the full J.P. Morgan NextList2025, including the bank’s descriptions of recommended items. The entries have been lightly edited for style.
