So You Want To Be A Billionaire? - a podcast by How Did We Not Know That

In a time where billionaires roamed the earth, it seemed as if everything in the United States was gold. Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. If your last name isn't Rockefeller, Carnegie, or Vanderbilt, there's a good chance your ancestors were dirt poor and pawns in the grips of capitalism and corruption. In this Episode, Jac takes you through the history of the Gilded Age, striping off the thin gold on top and exposing the rusted, abused tin underneath.
