b'When a German countess died in 1992, she left her fortune to the only family she had: her dog Gunther. The world\\u2019s richest pooch enjoyed private jets, personal chefs, and a dedicated staff led by Gunther\\u2019s caretaker, Maurizio Mian.\\n\\nThe will also decreed that Gunther would form a pop band. The dog bought Madonna\\u2019s mansion where the group\\u2019s attractive members were directed to have sex with one another, while researchers studied their levels of happiness. But few questions were asked about the origins of the fortune or how Maurizio came to control Gunther\\u2019s financial empire.\\n\\nThe Netflix documentary series \\u201cGunther\\u2019s Millions\\u201d turns the feel-good story of a rich dog into an investigation of media manipulation, tax fraud, sex cults and the man at the center of it all. Is this a story about one lucky dog or is it the ultimate test to see if money can buy happiness?'
