More fantastic investigative reporting from CNBC, this time focusing on the world of the especially affluent and called "Untold Wealth: The Rise Of The Super Wealthy." They own multiple houses and fly to London to bid on expensive cars. Clearly, the kind of reporting people want to see while they're getting thrown out of their homes and living in their soon-to-be-repossessed cars because of sketchy lending practices. The same lending practices from which many of the Super Rich benefited, incidentally, allowing them buy bigger homes and more cars. But hey, it's tough out there for a rich guy. The weak dollar makes it harder for him to bid on that Rolls Royce needed to fill the all-important 76th spot in his garage. Try watching without throwing up a little in the back of your mouth.
