WGW: G20 Coming to Miami, Felice is Fire, 169m House Flip, & Dolphins Rebrand

From coming motorcades to outstanding Mafalde: here is what matters in Miami.

ON MY MIND: The next wave of Miami is already breaking.

The next wave of Miami is already breaking. Tastes are maturing, food, fashion, culture, no longer satisfied with flash, demanding substance. At the same time, a battle rages between the old and the new: the legacy Miami of hustle and spectacle versus the global Miami of power and permanence. It’s like the scene in Casino when the cowboy tells De Niro, “you people will never understand.” Except now De Niro is played by Ken Griffin, Jeff Bezos, and the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world, staring across the table at a city still learning how to wear its new clothes.

And the stakes? They’ve never been higher. The G20 is on the way, the most powerful hedge fund in the world already calls Miami home, F1 and padel are rewriting the playbook for U.S. sports. Miami is no longer just a party with a skyline, it’s where sovereign wealth, cultural capital, and raw ambition converge. It’s all here, and it’s all for the taking. The only question is who grabs it first and whether Miami can evolve fast enough to meet the people already playing at a different level.

The G20 Is Coming. No, it’s not a new Lambo.

What’s is the G20? The Twenty most powerful world leaders, a few thousand diplomats, and enough security to make Art Basel look like a school fair are descending on Miami for the G20 Leaders’ Summit in December 2026. Global economics… in humidity you can drink.

What’s Happening

Miami, Doral, to be exact, gets to play host. Think motorcades, metal detectors, and more lanyards than a tech conference. The city becomes a live-action Model UN with better restaurants and worse parking.

Why It Matters (Besides Traffic)

• Spotlight: For a hot minute, the world’s press will pretend Wynwood murals are fiscal policy.

• Money-in-Motion: Hotels booked, jets stacked at Opa-locka, private dining rooms turned into “bilateral talks” (read: power dinners).

• Narrative: Miami sells itself as the crossroads of the Americas; the G20 makes it the group chat admin.

What This Means for the City

If we nail it, Miami graduates from “party with a skyline” to “global decision-making backdrop.” If we fumble, we’re just the place where the Wi-Fi dropped during a central bank photo op. Let’s choose the former.
