On the agenda:

Welcome to Scottsdale, Arizona — a millionaire's playground.

Young people have a new status symbol: Botox.

Grabbing sushi this weekend? Look out for these red flags.

The Oscars of the East

The Met Gala returns on Monday — the busiest (and bougiest) Monday in May — and fashion lovers are in for a treat.

This year's theme, "The Garden of Time," is a nod to an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." But it's not exactly a Disney fairytale.

Instead, celebrities, fashion's elite, and Vogue editor-in-chief and gala chairwoman, Anna Wintour, are expected to wear delicate, historical styles, dug up from the fashion archives.

The gala, an annual fundraiser for the Costume Institute that has been happening since 1946, is being hosted this year by "Challengers" star Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth.

Those aren't the only celebs you can expect to walk the red-carpeted steps. TikTok is an official sponsor, so CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend.

As a journalist, I'm also thinking of the dozens of scribes who will be stationed in the basement, covering the $75,000-a-ticket event. Vogue staffers call it the War Room, and one staffer said of covering it live, "You don't see the light of day until the next morning."

For fans who want to follow along while getting some sunlight, Business Insider will be live-blogging the stand-out moments from the event so you won't miss a thing.

Scottsdale, Arizona is one of the country's fastest-growing cities when it comes to wealth: It's seen a 102% increase in millionaire residents over the past decade.

In a city where one in 17 residents is a millionaire, it's no wonder it feels like a luxury oasis in the middle of the desert. On a trip to Scottsdale, a reporter found booming businesses, breathtaking mansions, and all the trappings of a millionaire hotspot.
