Round 58 - Eccentric millionaires

This week the girls take aim at Eccentric Millionaires... 

This week we thought we would take aim at those with pastures a little greener than our own. In tonight's episode, we discuss the lives of some interesting folks who have more money than they would ever know what to do with.

But first, what were we drinking?

Bianca was drinking The Rocks Pinot Gris

Bianca opened the episode with a list of the top 20 richest people right now (thank you, Forbes). We immediately sh*t all over the usual suspects.

Then Bianca spoke on the life and experiences of the very eccentric Jocelyn Wildenstein, who is one of the wealthiest divorcees in the world. What makes her legendary is the life she led and the plastic surgery journey she went through.


Amy decided to cover the 18th Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y Silva. The duchess was the most titled aristocrat until her death in 2014 holding over 50 hereditary titles. 

The duchess lived an incredibly privileged life as one of the most senior aristocrats in Spain. Cayetana had six children and was married three times. With each marriage came a new scandal. However, the duchess did not seem to be worried about the opinions of others marrying her toyboy lover in 2011 and hitting the beach in a bikini well into her eighties. 

The duchess was also well known for her indulgence in plastic surgery, her 70s era perm that she had until the day she died, and even sporting winged eyeliner which Amy is pretty sure she did herself. 

Cayetana was a friend to the rich and famous around the world and was loved by her adoring public. The duchess loved to dance the flamenco and even appeared in front of the waiting press on her final wedding day to show off her moves. 

Whilst Cayetana appears in many google searches for eccentric billionaires, Amy concluded that the duchess was not eccentric, she simply did not care what others thought and did as she pleased. Power to her!







Sarah finishes us off with a self-made millionaire by the name of Scott Alexander. This gentleman made his first million in the first year of opening his company that caters to the wealthy who desire to have what they want without any of the waiting time. He also got into the property market and bought himself a town in Bulgaria back in 2006.

Scott has quite the expensive taste in clothing and it's nothing to him to spend 15,000 pounds on a suit that has gold woven into the fabric or to throw away D&G underwear just because he has worn them twice. Don't even get Sarah started on his cars.



Scott's property business, unfortunately, went bankrupt in 2009 but his other ventures and personal training seem to still be working for him.
