Review of Born Rich

Born Rich (2003)
7/10
Very interesting & well-done documentary
19 February 2005
I have watched "Born Rich" several times, and I found it well done, and very informative. I am from a "middle-class" background, having been raised in the Washington, DC suburb of Fairfax, Virginia. I was not exposed to either extreme wealth or poverty. My parents divorced when I was nine, and I went into foster homes. My father died when I was 17, so I never had "excess" money. I had food every day, and a place to sleep, so I consider myself fortunate. This said, I find it hard to understand spending $600 on a purse. I don't have a problem spending money on nice things (I have had Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and I want to get another, when I can figure out how to pay for it now), it is the mentality of spending a lot of money just "because" it is a lot of money that I don't understand. The character of Karen on "Will & Grace" comes to mind.

I found Jamie Johnson very likable, and I'd like to talk to him sometime. He intrigued me, and I'd like to know what he has been doing since he made "Born Rich".
