The heiress and DJ Paris Hilton was one of several ultra-wealthy people who flocked to Nevada's Black Rock Desert for Burning Man in late August.
Hilton spent time partying with Major Lazer's Diplo and the DJ and music producer Blondish.
Diplo took a Popeyes-branded private jet to the event ...
... but navigated the playa on a bike.
The billionaire hedge-fund manager Ray Dalio attended as well. The 70-year-old investor and philanthropist said this year's Burning Man was like Woodstock but with "less good music."
Just back from Burning Man. Reminds me of Woodstock with better art (installations) and less good music. What a great vibe and what amazing creativity!
