Does being a billionaire make you crazy or do you need to be crazy to be a billionaire? Too Much Money is a podcast that attempts to answer this question by telling stories about people who have more money than they know what to do with, and use it in ways that are sometimes foolish, often petty, and often ridiculous. Each week, Jo Piazza and Doree Shafrir go deep into the story of one of these extremely rich people and how they’ve spent their money: like $500 million yachts, $250,000 dinosaur fossils, and years-long feuds with their neighbors over ocean views. After all, maybe you CAN be too rich.

The Allure of Luxury Adventure Travel
Are billionaires so dead inside that they need to risk their lives just to feel alive again?
Not all of them. Probably.

Plus: we've got an update on the show.

Why Do Billionaires Love to Buy Media Properties?
Karlie Kloss is just the latest billionaire (by marriage) who thought it might be fun to start buying magazines. But billionaires' track record with the media is ... not great. In this ep we discuss the various billionaires (Jeff Bezos, Patrick Soon-Shiong, Mort Zuckerman, Sam Zell, etc.) who have bought media properties, what happened next, and who suffered (hint: not them!).

It's An Alien Invasion! No, It's Elon Musk
Are we being invaded by aliens? Jo thought so when she saw a massive string of bright lights jet across the night sky. But alas, it wasn't aliens — it was Elon Musk. The Musker has been releasing satellites by the dozen and if you don't know what you are looking at they are downright terrifying. Here to explain this latest venture from the infamous billionaire is guest host Nick Aster, aka Jo's husband, who knows much more about space things than we do.

A Billionaire Searches For E.T.
Robert Bigelow made his fortune in budget hotels (with some really intense bad reviews). But that business was all a means to an end for Bigelow. All he ever wanted (since he was a little kid staring up at the stars) was to go to outer space. And he tried to make that dream a reality by offering to make NASA some budget motels on the moon. When that didn't work out her switched his focus to funding UFO research and eventually an even stranger and more unbelievable project.

Was This Wacky Gilded Age Bash the Worst Party of All Time?
Today’s episode tells the tale of the worst party ever thrown. This is what happens when a Gilded Age millionaire has too much money to spend to celebrate the grand opening of his fancy new stables. Dinner guests were made to endure a multi-course dinner while strapped in the saddle atop horses lifted into a fourth floor Manhattan ballroom. But we promise, it gets even weirder.
