Born Rich

A short documentary interviewing young people born into wealth. Made by one of the Johnson & Johnson family, and includes Ivanka Trump.

I almost didn’t review this because I saw it on youtube and thought I was only half-watching, but before I realised it totally sucked me in. It works so well because it’s told from the perspective from someone who has grown up always being worth billions of dollars, kind of just interviewing people he knows.

It’s kind of all-access and no insight but these people are quite young, and frankly Johnson was smart enough to just let them talk on and on. And boy do they talk - their distorted world view reveals itself so quickly it’s astonishing.
