The Luxurious Magazine Story


We are a privately owned lifestyle news provider based upon the principles of honesty and integrity. We have a small team of experienced journalists who travel the world, testing, reviewing, and writing on subjects that we feel will be of interest to our readers.



The magazine was originally founded in 2004 under the name Exclusive Magazine. In 2010, while living in Malaysia, its founders, Paul and Natasha Godbold (above), decided to register the intellectual property for Luxurious Magazine®, and the magazine you know today was born.


An Ethical Approach
Luxurious Magazine rarely engages in politics and religion and has a policy of avoiding salacious publishing. There are far too many news resources whose sole aim is to shock, offend, titillate, and scare while spreading news they know to be inaccurate while trying to influence readers with their views.

In addition, unlike the majority of global media outlets, we do not use ‘clickbait’; what you read in the title describes the content of each editorial. We also do not charge for publishing news or impose any conditions for accessing our content.

We did publish a quarterly print edition, but this was discontinued in 2017. Paul and Natasha are people who put ethics ahead of profit and were uncomfortable seeing companies paying large sums for a piece of paper inside a magazine that someone might or might not see.

It was this that caused them to adopt a “not-for-profit” ethos, only publishing news via the online version of the magazine.


The Safest News Resource of its Type in the World
We take your privacy very seriously and use an encrypted connection. The privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo rates Luxurious Magazine as B+. The company’s CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, has gone on record stating: “Hardly any sites get an A”.

In addition to this, Sur.ly, the online safety company, awarded us a score of 98/100, which enforces our view that we are not only the safest, but we are also the most transparent news platform online. The details of the independent audit can be read here.

In keeping with the above, our online magazine contains Zero Trackable Affiliate Links.

After more than fifteen years and tens of thousands of articles, Luxurious Magazine continues to hold strong relationships with thousands of global brands who appreciate the importance of high-quality, easy-to-understand editorials presented honestly and ethically.

To ensure that we provide a more comprehensive coverage of the UK, we’ve moved our administration and operations from London to Lancashire in the North-West of England.
