Apie šį filmą

The heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical empire, Jamie Johnson, points his documentary lens in the direction of some privileged children who stand to inherit millions in the not-so-distant future. Johnson manages to pry revelations from heirs with some famous last names - Trump, Bloomberg and Vanderbilt, to name a few. They speak frankly about money, family pressure and their often extravagant lifestyle.

OK. So it's cool to learn something new, and it makes Jamie Johnson (the author) look like he wants to do more than just the self tax cutting donations that his family gives. But come on man, if you REALLY wanted to make a difference and be about something more than money, then we wouldn't have to pay $6 for a bottle of bug spray any longer and single mother's would be able to afford your childcare products. gimme a break.

Well this certainly didn't make the 1% look like they know what life is like for the 99%. Although the film maker and the Vanderbuilt heir impressed me and both offer hope that blue bloods aren't all self-centered brats. Luke Weil and the Italian model d bag are both doomed in life I think, regardless of what they can buy.

I was suprised to see this documentary on the google videos recommendation. This is a honest, eye opening documentary of people born into monumental wealth. The various interviews of some well known and some not well known characters give you a balanced take away of whats to be like on the elite wealthy list.
