Reviews"[A] decadent road map to help you navigate through private-school admissions, choppy regatta waters, and the global social circuit." -- Vanity Fair, "There are three kinds of humor. Parody, where you make fun of people who are smarter than you. Satire, where you make fun of people who are richer than you. And burlesque, where you do both while taking off your clothes. The Official Filthy Rich Handbook is a paragon of naked wit." --P.J. O'Rourke, "Reading this handbook is like eating 12 baked Alaskas in a row, but Christopher Tennant seems to know la dolce vita Americana billionara, every sweet morsel of it." -Tom Wolfe, "There are three kinds of humor.
