Synopsis

For most of us, the idea of life inside the golden triad of Park Avenue, Sagaponack, and St. Barths is just as exotic as the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle. Luckily, Richard Kirshenbaum has a VIP pass to the Upper East Side and is willing to share the wealth-of gossip. His New York Observer column on uptown social life provides a fascinating glimpse behind the gilded curtain into the swanky restaurants and eye-popping vacation destinations where the 1 percent gathers. Isn't That Rich? features highlights from Kirshenbaum's monthly column as well as several brand-new essays that exposes the preoccupations of the posh.

Goodreads review by Melanie

Ok, so we are supposed to feel bad that the millionaires are just "oh so blasé" compared to the super duper billionaire world where they would die before flying first class? ("Can I have your tail number?") This book actually made me feel a lot better about my middle class upbringing, where my mom a......more

Goodreads review by Joe

Very funny look at the ultra rich in New York City written by an insider. Kirshenbaum who runs his own advertising agency assembled the book from his column in the New York Observer.
