BY THE NUMBERS
The first baby boomers—there are 78 million in the U.S.— turned 60 last year. This should be of interest to you. Why? Well, 77 percent of the country's assets are controlled by 50-plussers, who also happen to spend $1.7 million on goods and services. Want to get rich? Start marketing services to them that can help them look younger.

Obsessions
Ten things celebrity stylist Marco Maranghello, top hairstylist at the John Barrett salon at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, can't live without:
 Marco Maranghello |
1. DIESEL ZANTHAN LOW RISE BOOTCUT JEANS The cut is stylish but not too trendy.
2. B-HEAL JOHN BARRETT SMOOTHING CREAM It makes my naturally curly hair smooth and silky.
3. HOT TOOLS GOLD 2-INCH CURLING IRON I use it on the runways as a flat iron and curling iron. It's multifunctional; if you really know how to use it, you can style any way you like.
4. MY ASSISTANT, SUE I wouldn't be able to do as much as I do without her. She is my right hand, my friend, my little sister, my everything.
5. TRISH MCEVOY BLUEBERRY VANILLA CANDLE I burn it in the bathroom, bedroom and living room—all over my crib.
6. TOWNHOUSE SPA It's where I go in New York City to relax, unwind and recharge my batteries. It's a comfortable space that feels like home.
