"The very rich are different from you and me," said F. Scott Fitzgerald. How different? Well, Ivana Trump so abhors footprints on the carpet that she has the rooms in her home freshly vacuumed before she enters them. Christina Onassis used to have Diet Coke flown to her by private jet. And the elite members of San Francisco's Union Pacific Club needn't worry about handling dirty money, since every coin the enters the institution is scoured by the kitchen staff.
These are just a few of the hilariously outrageous facts and anecdotes that Jon Winokur has assembled in this eye-popping field guide to the habits of the equestrian class. From the schlock of the Nouveau to the stinginess of Old Money, here are the follies and foibles of such plutocrats as William Vanderbilt and Leona Helmsley, Aristotle Onassis and Doris Duke. You'll learn how the super-rich get, conserve and squander their fortunes; how they thwart tax collectors, buy legislative bodies (not to mention entire countries), and literally get away with murder. Here are a few of the most delicious:
* The Sultan of Brunei flew the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to London for his son's ninth birthday party at a cost of $1 million.
* Asked why she was carried everywhere by a burly attendant, Barbara Hutton replied, "Why should I walk when I can hire someone to do it for me?"
* When the late Time Warner boss Steve Ross flew his wife and two other couples to Mexico one Christmas, the trip required two corporate planes: One for people and one for gifts.
* Donald Trump's 727 had 24-karat-gold seat-belt buckles.
* The teenage Doris Duke's limousine was equipped with a panic button she could push whenever a boy tried to kiss her.

Best pillow ever!!!
Size: Sapphire Queen
I have actually tried dozens and dozens of pillows in my life, and dozens in the past three years, but this is it. Some cheap, some very very expensive, and some very famous brands. This one beats them all. So awesome and comfortable (side sleeper). I tried one and loved it so much I ordered a second right away. It is exactly what I've been searching for forever!!!
Stays in shape, extremely comfortable. Only thing is you definitely need a 32" pillowcase to cover it, and I wish they made a 34" pillowcase, but no luck. I used the pillow the same night and it's definitely worth the money.
No neck pain, super squishy but supportive, and no odor.

Great pillow
Size: Sapphire King, Size: Sapphire King
Super comfy pillow. Fluffs up without any issues and it was the first night in a long time I wasn't allover the bed trying to get comfortable. I appreciate the fact that the material in the pillow can be washed. The prefill was perfect for me so I did not need to remove or add but I like the option to do so. 10/10

Way fluffy, good support
Size: Sapphire Queen
This pillow is way fluffy. It does fit into a standard pillowcase with a little tugging and stuffing. Worth it though, as it’s cool and provides more support than a usual side sleeper pillow. I’m not using the extra stuffing that comes with it as the firmness is fine for me right out of the box.

Great for side sleeper
Size: Sapphire King
I am loving this pillow. I waited a few months to see how I would feel about it, because I definitely did not like solid foam pillows previously. I’m a side sleeper, and my pillows were discontinued from a different bedding company. I tried a few others in the interim and was not happy with the support for my neck. Tried this one and I really love the shredded foam. It supports my neck and my head, it’s comfortable. It is movable if I need support in a certain position. It has extra fill if needed. Super happy with this purchase.
