Designing a Life of Impact: Dame Sydney Thackray on Wealth, Wellness & Philanthropy

In this inspiring episode of Born or Made, Larry Dix sits down with visionary entrepreneur, creative powerhouse, and philanthropist Dame Sydney Thackray. Known for her opulent interior and set design work, Sydney is now launching one of LA’s most exclusive new ventures: a private social club and wellness spa where charity investors, innovators, and thought leaders can connect, relax, and ignite purpose-driven change.

But Sydney’s journey began with grit, grace, and a relentless dedication to giving back. A former Olympic horse vaulter, Sydney transitioned from elite athletics to full-time philanthropy, dedicating her life to causes that uplift women, children, and underserved communities around the globe. Her charitable work took her across continents—and in a twist that feels pulled from the pages of history, led to a fateful meeting with a descendant of Catherine de Medici.

In June of this year, at just 19 years old, Sydney was officially knighted in Rome—making her the youngest American Dame in history. Unlike many who receive such honors through royal lineage or status, Sydney earned hers through service, action, and impact.

This episode is a masterclass in legacy building, where resilience meets elegance, and where one woman’s commitment to purpose redefines what it means to live a noble life—without needing to be born into one.
