Plot

A series of documentaries following the jet-set lifestyles of the rich and famous in cities all across the world.

It's insider's talk that not the Grimaldi family is the richest family in the Duchy of Monaco, but the Pastors. The family branch around building entrepreneur Victor Pastor has made a fortune by renting out 20,000 luxury apartments in Monaco, to tenants like Claudia Schiffer, Karl Lagerfeld or Ringo Starr. Having a sumptuous apartment in Monaco can be the best way for the really rich to save money. German fashion guru Wolfgang Joop explains what it's like to live in the super safe haven of millionaires, overlooking the Mediterranean sea from one of the best penthouses in town. "Here, there is dinosaurs alive to be seen." They're having lunch at the "Rampoldi". Or at "Stars'n'bars", where formula one driver Jochen Maas is often having his business meetings. Yet Alain Ducasse is reigning the world of chefs from his kitchen at the Hotel de Paris. Victor Pastor explains how Monaco started. And Prince Albert of Monaco describes how his Duchy will look like in the future, extended with an artificial island. With more space for yachts and millionaires. There is hardly a place on the planet, where being rich is the most normal thing in the world. Nowhere else can reach people feel so at ease, as they can here. Thousands of surveillance cameras almost guarantee: There is no autograph hunters, no beggars, no car thefts. The occasional economic crime or weapons deal do not at all spoil the picture of prosperity.
