There are certain things about our culture that I often point out as being "the reason the terrorists hate us." Celebrity sex videos. Reality shows about catty housewives. Baby beauty pageants. And, of course, disgustingly rich people with no class.
Enter The Official Filthy Rich Handbook by Christopher Tennant. In the same way that The Preppy Handbook mocked and worshiped at once, TOFRH presents stereotypes of rich people and lavishly describes them in a way that can only be seen as overtly envious. Essentially a how-to for getting mentioned in the pages of Vanity Fair, it offers such sage advice as whose name to drop, who to suck up to and where to be seen. No mention on wether you should keep the receipt when you sell your soul.
If you are one of the aforementioned filthy rich, you'll opt for the $100 hardback.
