Billionaires of the Apocalypse: 9 Countries, Infinite Greed
from The Unfiltered Arena · host Whispery
3,000 billionaires. 9 countries. 1 grotesque global monopoly on money, influence, and—let’s be honest—private chefs.Max and Lisa are cracking open the Forbes Billionaire List like it’s a bag of scandal-flavored chips, exposing how nearly three-quarters of the world’s billionaires are hoarding their yachts in just nine countries.From America’s 902 golden goblins to China’s "Communist" capitalists, and India’s rocket-riding moguls, we ask:When did “success” start meaning you need a helipad on your pool house?Lisa dissects wealth consolidation like a surgeon. Max shows up with verbal flamethrowers. Together, they torch the illusion of “earned wealth” and unpack the power dynamics behind ultra-net-worth humans reshaping politics, tech, and your rent.Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
