Jimmy Buffett was back on stage Saturday night for a show at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

The San Diego Union Tribune has a review of the show: “Review: Jimmy Buffett and Jason Mraz turn Snapdragon Stadium into a giant beach party, 8 miles inland”

Jimmy Buffett and Jason Mraz have each performed numerous times in San Diego over the years — Buffett since the early 1970s and native Virginian-turned-Oceanside resident Mraz since the late 1990s. But Saturday night was the first instance in memory at which either played second fiddle here to a large, new, outdoor concrete edifice.

So, take a bow, Snapdragon Stadium, which opened last September as the home of San Diego State University’s Aztecs football team — and this weekend made its largely promising debut as a concert venue.

Longtime Buffett collaborator Mac McAnally was, in fact, the first artist to perform at Saturday’s concert. The show had been pushed back from its original date last October, after Buffett was hospitalized for undisclosed reasons.

Now 76, the star of the night was in good spirits as he took to the stage at 7 p.m. He warmly greeted the audience, then introduced McAnally, who did an engaging, five-song opening set with percussionist Erik Darken.

“We finally made it!” Buffett, clad in a track warm-up suit, told the cheering audience. “Thank you for waiting.”

According to Forbes, 150 people joined the Billionaire club this year and Jimmy Buffett is one of them:

This year, Forbes counted 2,640 people on the annual World’s Billionaires List–28 fewer than last year and 115 fewer than in 2021. But it wasn’t a bad year for everyone. In fact, Forbes found 150 new members that joined the ten-figure ranks this year.

Together, these 150 markets-defying new billionaires are worth $344 billion. They got rich in everything from finance and fitness gear to Formula 1 and fashion.

The most famous newcomers include some of the world’s most famous faces. Musician Jimmy Buffett has made a $1 billion fortune turning his carefree, island vibe into a lucrative branding business that has stamped the Margaritaville name on restaurants, hotels and casinos. Tom Ford joined the list after selling his clothing, fragrance, cosmetics and skin care business to Estée Lauder for $2.8 billion in November. And Tiger Woods (net worth: $1.1 billion) and LeBron James ($1 billion) have joined the ranks as the only two active athletes who are billionaires after turning their massive sports earnings and endorsement income into ten-digit fortunes through savvy business moves.
