Rich lives

Catering to high-net-worth people is a fast-growing industry in Naples, home to some of the country's wealthiest families.

So it's no surprise entrepreneurs who focus on that demographic should establish themselves in town. Consider John and Billie Resnick, a husband-and-wife team who built a successful business in Harrisburg, Pa., selling life insurance to wealthy people for estate-planning purposes.

Business is so good the Resnicks, who increasingly found themselves traveling to Naples to visit with clients, recently expanded: They formed The Lutgert Resnick Group with developer and entrepreneur Scott Lutgert, a name synonymous with luxury condos and shops in Naples. Also among the co-founders and principals are Bud Hornbeck, president and CEO of Lutgert Insurance, and Howard Gutman, president of The Lutgert Companies.
