Burning Man
Burning Man has become a favorite event for the rich tech set.
  • Burning Man kicked off this weekend in the Nevada Desert.
  • Hundreds of planes descended on the makeshift airport built for the occasion.
  • The festival has become a popular destination for the ultrarich of Silicon Valley.

Hundreds of charter and personal planes touched down on the same tarmac this weekend — and it wasn't in the Hamptons, Lake Tahoe, or any other particular bougie hot spot. It was a pop-up airport called 88NV in the middle of the Nevada desert.
