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)
A thrilling and irreverent memoir about the transformation of the
advertising business from the 1980s to today Richard Kirshenbaum
was born to sell. Raised in a family of Long Island strivers, this
future advertising titan was just a few years old when his
grandfather first taught him that a Cadillac is more than a car,
and that if you can’t have a Trinitron you might as well not
watch TV. He had no connections when he came to Madison Avenue, but
he possessed an outrageous sense of humor that would make him a
millionaire. In 1987, at the age of twenty-six, Richard put
his savings on the line to launch his own agency with partner
Jonathan Bond, and within a year, had transformed it from a no-name
firm into the go-to house for cutting-edge work. Kirshenbaum and
Bond pioneered guerilla marketing by purchasing ad space on fruit,
spray-painting slogans on the sidewalk, and hiring actors to order
the Hennessy martini in nightclubs. They were the bad boys of
Madison Avenue—a firm where a skateboarding employee once bowled
over an important client—but backed up their madness with
results. Packed with business insight, marketing wisdom, and
a cast of characters ranging from Princess Diana to Ed McMahon,
this memoir is as bold, as breathtaking, and as delightful as
Richard himself.
