Fascinating look at actual residents of Palm Beach, whose lives leave much to be desired, despite their untold wealth.

This book takes place in my backyard. Lots of hype about Palm Beach and the PB ifestyle. I didn't care for this book.

This book is more of a gossipy tell-all than the true crime book I was hoping it was.The author does talk about public figures such as Trump and Joel Epstein (convicted of raping young-age girls and a friend of Trump) but it's mainly about how Palm Beach denizens came to live there and how big their mansions are. Parts of this book are almost too bizarre to be believed. Several times I thought to myself, " I can't believe how stupid the ultra-rich are"
