When the World Became a Village Without Borders

A Brazilian executive married to a French woman maintains homes in three countries, speaks four languages fluently, and considers a fourteen-hour flight as routine as your morning commute. He's not a celebrity or a billionaire-just part of an emerging tribe that's quietly rewriting the rules of how we live, work, and define success. This new global elite, what cultural anthropologist Clotaire Rapaille calls the "Satellite Tribe," isn't just wealthy-they're creating universal standards that transcend borders, languages, and traditions. They're the architects of our collective future, and understanding them means understanding where humanity is headed.
