Patients in search of a miracle cure end up in critical condition. The race is on to find out what went wrong before more people get hurt. The trail leads back to a medical company with slick marketing and a charismatic CEO. And to a multibillion dollar stem cell industry where greed and desperation collide. Laura Beil, the award-winning host and reporter of “Dr Death,” returns for this six-part investigative series from Wondery, the makers of “Dirty John” and “The Shrink Next Door.”

Wondery Presents Even the Rich: Paris Hilton
The latest season of Wondery’s Even The Rich profiles the one and only Paris Hilton. The unconventional heiress who carved out an American Dynasty that eclipses even her own famous family.
From a young age Paris knew she was different. Whether her family approved or not, she was going to do whatever it took to carve out her own place in pop culture. And when a sex-tape exposed her in a vulnerable moment, she used it to catapult herself into the cultural zeitgeist, where she sits comfortably to this day.

The Sell
John K. builds his company, and focuses on what he does best. A fleet of salesmen and doctors are selling a miracle, and they’re not necessarily sharing the whole story of the bad batch.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
Interesting and well researched
Interesting podcast
What do you think drives him? .........EGO
9/10 !
Classic America. Super embarrassing, it’s too easy to cause damage, in all aspects over there.
Should not be known as a first world country at all!
Great podcast! The adds are really annoying and really disrupt your listening experience. It would be better if they were either all just at the start or the end!
But I enjoyed the series! And I thought jt was narrated very well! :)
