"The very rich are different from you and me," said F. Scott Fitzgerald. How different? Well, Ivana Trump so abhors footprints on the carpet that she has the rooms in her home freshly vacuumed before she enters them. Christina Onassis used to have Diet Coke flown to her by private jet. And the elite members of San Francisco's Union Pacific Club needn't worry about handling dirty money, since every coin the enters the institution is scoured by the kitchen staff.

These are just a few of the hilariously outrageous facts and anecdotes that Jon Winokur has assembled in this eye-popping field guide to the habits of the equestrian class. From the schlock of the Nouveau to the stinginess of Old Money, here are the follies and foibles of such plutocrats as William Vanderbilt and Leona Helmsley, Aristotle Onassis and Doris Duke. You'll learn how the super-rich get, conserve and squander their fortunes; how they thwart tax collectors, buy legislative bodies (not to mention entire countries), and literally get away with murder. Here are a few of the most delicious:

* The Sultan of Brunei flew the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to London for his son's ninth birthday party at a cost of $1 million.

* Asked why she was carried everywhere by a burly attendant, Barbara Hutton replied, "Why should I walk when I can hire someone to do it for me?"

* When the late Time Warner boss Steve Ross flew his wife and two other couples to Mexico one Christmas, the trip required two corporate planes: One for people and one for gifts.

* Donald Trump's 727 had 24-karat-gold seat-belt buckles.

* The teenage Doris Duke's limousine was equipped with a panic button she could push whenever a boy tried to kiss her.

It's okay.
Color: PDRN 25%
I'm not going to say it's good I'm not going to say it's bad, I do not like the sticky feeling you have to wash your hands afterwards. And it feels sticky on your face for a while I used it about 10 minutes after microneedling my face. It did help my face feel better kind of calm it down a little bit. When I applied it it didn't burn or nothing

Great booster to mix with other products — long-term results are real
Color: PDRN 25%
The Salmon DNA PDRN 250,000 ppm Concentrate Booster works amazingly well when mixed with other skincare products. I often add a few drops to my cream, essence, or even a mask, and it blends in smoothly without changing the texture. It’s super versatile and easy to incorporate into any routine. At first, I didn’t notice a dramatic change right away, but after consistent use, I can definitely see a difference. I’m already on my third bottle since I started using it back in Korea, and my skin texture has improved a lot. The bumps and unevenness have noticeably reduced, and my skin feels much smoother and more refined now.

Results after a few uses. ✨
Color: PDRN 25%
There’s a little bit of magic in this bottle. I’ve applied directly to skin, let it soak in for a few minutes, then follow with moisturizer with no issues. Already seeing subtle softening and fluffing of lines after a few uses. Excited for this one. Thank you!

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.
