Why Everyone Wants To Eat The Rich Now (Even Other Rich People!) | Compilation

Being ultra wealthy might have once been aspirational, but nowadays it often inspires rage. Why is the glitter of riches so alluring, and why have people (on screen and in real life) begun revolting against extreme wealth? We're taking a deep dive into how these problems and questions (and their possible solutions) have all played out both on screen and in real life, from media about the ultra wealthy like The White Lotus, Succession, and Billions, to stories about how money (or lack thereof) affects those of us *not* in the upper echelon, like Knives Out, Hustlers, and Dumb Money. From why everyone wants to eat the rich, to why rich people are so miserable on screen, to the dazzling depictions to darker realities of finance and investing, to analyzing the symbolism in The White Lotus.
