What to Know

An invitation-only community for leaders across luxury lifestyle. Members earn editorial visibility on Maxim, a designed executive presence, and the credibility that comes with one of the most recognized names in men’s luxury lifestyle.
Founders, operators, and principals whose businesses intersect with luxury lifestyle — watchmaking, hospitality, fashion, automotive, travel, real estate, spirits, and the worlds adjacent. If your work shapes what discerning readers buy, wear, or where they spend their time, Sphere was designed for you.
Sphere covers three article bylines a year across Maxim’s channel streams, Expert Panel contributions, your executive profile on the Maxim subdomain, access to discounted Maxim events, the Maxim Rewards platform, and a full media kit. Sphere Black adds three professionally-written feature profiles each year — Trend & Forecast, How I Did It, and Origin Story — premium writing services from the in-house Maxim Sphere team, a content strategy call, and optional pro-written personal and professional bios. Sphere earns your byline; Sphere Black tells your story.
All members are invited to Expert Panels — curated roundups on industry topics — and to contribute bylined articles on their areas of expertise. Sphere Black members are paired with a Maxim content strategist who interviews, writes, and produces their profiles, each presented with a designed editorial image treatment built around the member’s headshot.
Yes. Every invitation request is reviewed by our membership team. We evaluate professional standing, industry relevance, and potential contribution to the community. This ensures every member finds genuine value in the network.
