Mexico is the preferred destination among the ranks of America’s richest travelers, for whom money is no object and the world is at their well-heeled, designer-clad feet.

That’s according to the results of a new study that looked at the travel trends of the richest one percent of Americans.

For the report, international travel and tourism consultancy group Resonance Consultancy analyzed data from more than 1,660 travelers with a household income of at least $200,000 USD or a net worth of $2 million.

Compared to the average American traveler who takes about five trips a year, the top five percent of richest Americans take about 14 trips a year, divided roughly between business and leisure trips.

Likewise, while the typical traveler will spend an average of $1,347 per person, per vacation, the affluent traveler will spend about $3,115.

Here are the top 10 travel destinations among America’s top one percent:

1. Mexico (26%)

2. Canada (24%)

3. Italy (24%)

4. England (22%)

5. France (22%)
