Episode 33 - Christmas for the Wealthy

Published: Dec. 23, 2018, 7:27 p.m.

So this is Christmas, and what have you done? If you're like the people who are the subject of this episode's documentary, you've spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on octopus bangles, mushroom-shaped USB keys, and ... crackers? 

Whether your budget is dozens of millions of dollars or just tens of millions of dollars, there's something here for anyone who wants to make sure they have the best super-rich Christmas possible.

Are you worried you'll envy these gifts and your Christmas will seem small and insignificant in comparison to this? Have no fear. These gifts are all pretty stupid. And speaking of stupid, we'll also share our own stories of Christmas gift mishaps and give our best advice on whether you should put a $500 ruby on something edible. (You shouldn't.)

Wait! Do you hear those jingle bells in the distance? That can only mean the arrival of Werner Claus! He's got a sleigh full of existential angst and Netflix trial accounts for all the girls and boys so they can watch his volcano documentary.

Happy Holidays and a Very Merry Super True Stories Christmas!
