The World of the Super-Rich

Business Daily

Available for over a year

How do the super-rich spend their cash? We investigate the lives of the 1% and the people who help them spend and invest their money. Mark Pearson from the OECD tells us how the world's wealth gap is widening. We also speak to Alex Cheadle of Ten Lifestyle Management - a company that helps rich people buy luxury cars and get the best tables at exclusive restaurants, and Catherine Tillotson from Scorpio Partnership on how the super-rich invest. And self-confessed rich man Robert Khun tells us about the value of wealth in the economy. (Photo: Lamborghini in front of the Plaza Athenee hotel, Paris. Credit: Fred Dufour/Getty Images)
