Why Do Billionaires Love to Buy Media Properties?

Does being a billionaire make you crazy or do you need to be crazy to be a billionaire? Too Much Money is a podcast that attempts to answer this question by telling stories about people who have more money than they know what to do with, and&nbsp;use it in ways that are sometimes foolish, often petty, and often ridiculous. Each week,&nbsp;Jo&nbsp;Piazza&nbsp;and Doree Shafrir go deep into the story of one of these extremely rich people and how they’ve spent their money: like&nbsp;$500 million yachts, $250,000 dinosaur fossils, and years-long feuds with their neighbors over ocean views. After all, maybe you CAN be too rich. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
