Celebrated ad man Richard Kirshenbaum, the original New York
observer, reveals the fashions, foibles, and outrageous
extravagances of the private-jet set Paid friends. Pot dealers
draped in Dolce. Divorce settlements that include the Birkins at
their current retail price. Air kisses, landing strips, and
lounge-chair bribery. 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. From cash-strapped blue bloods willing to trade
their good names for a taste of nouveau riche treasure to the fine
art of donning a cashmere sweater in Capri, our intrepid
correspondent exposes the preoccupations of the posh. His insider
sources may be anonymous, but "his up-to-the-minute portrait of
today's 1 percent is both insightful and a joy to read, no matter
what tax bracket you're in." (Mortimer Zuckerman)
