Envy, gluttony, sloth, lust, pride, wrath and greed are not good, particularly when the 'sinners' have huge bank accounts and zero accountability.
From Emperor Commodus to Rupert Murdoch, Count Dracula to Kim Kardashian, Genghis Khan to Gina Rinehart, Sins of the Filthy Rich explores how the mega wealthy have exploited, indulged and misbehaved appallingly throughout history.
Accompanied by shocking facts showing how wicked wealth is ruining the world, Sins of the Filthy Rich is a deep dive into the damage done by the filthy rich. Get ready to seethe with injustice but also feel better about not being one of the 1% - because those people are awful!
