Born Rich is a documentary made by a young heir of the Johnson family, they of the "Johnson & Johnson" brand. He set out to examine what it's like to be a wealthy heir or heiress, and to talk to these people about a subject that's the last great taboo among the super-rich: money. Definitely worth a look at a slim hour and seven minutes, there are some classic moments where you hate these rich kids, and some where you actually feel sorry for them.
Two things really struck me about it. One was the basic underlying question, "If you didn't have to work for a living, would you work at all?" and the other, "Why didn't any of these kids mention anything about philanthropy or international aid work? Did it not occur to them?"
