"The very rich are different from you and me," said F. Scott Fitzgerald. How different? Well, Ivana Trump so abhors footprints on the carpet that she has the rooms in her home freshly vacuumed before she enters them. Christina Onassis used to have Diet Coke flown to her by private jet. And the elite members of San Francisco's Union Pacific Club needn't worry about handling dirty money, since every coin the enters the institution is scoured by the kitchen staff.
These are just a few of the hilariously outrageous facts and anecdotes that Jon Winokur has assembled in this eye-popping field guide to the habits of the equestrian class. From the schlock of the Nouveau to the stinginess of Old Money, here are the follies and foibles of such plutocrats as William Vanderbilt and Leona Helmsley, Aristotle Onassis and Doris Duke. You'll learn how the super-rich get, conserve and squander their fortunes; how they thwart tax collectors, buy legislative bodies (not to mention entire countries), and literally get away with murder. Here are a few of the most delicious:
* The Sultan of Brunei flew the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to London for his son's ninth birthday party at a cost of $1 million.
* Asked why she was carried everywhere by a burly attendant, Barbara Hutton replied, "Why should I walk when I can hire someone to do it for me?"
* When the late Time Warner boss Steve Ross flew his wife and two other couples to Mexico one Christmas, the trip required two corporate planes: One for people and one for gifts.
* Donald Trump's 727 had 24-karat-gold seat-belt buckles.
* The teenage Doris Duke's limousine was equipped with a panic button she could push whenever a boy tried to kiss her.

Perfect Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin! ☀️✨
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this sunscreen! Eucerin has honestly become one of my favorite skincare brands because this is one of the only sunscreens that works well with my acne-prone skin. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, doesn’t clog my pores, and most importantly, it doesn’t break me out. The finish feels lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear.
The only small downside is that if it gets into your eyes, it can burn a little, so I try to avoid applying it too close to the eye area. Other than that, it’s amazing and I will definitely keep repurchasing it

Really good spf
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this for a little while now and I actually really like it. It feels nice on the skin, doesn’t feel heavy, and leaves my face looking fresh and smooth. I also noticed my skin feels softer after using it consistently. Definitely something I would buy again.

Pretty lightweight
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Although it still leaves a little bit of a shine ( more of a dewy look), there is definitely not that much of a greasy feel which really helps me to keep being consistent with using sunscreen because my big issue with using other sunscreens is that they're too greasy feeling and not lightweight and leave too much of a shine on my already oily face.

Not for sensitive skin
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have combination skin, prone to acne, and sensitive skin. Even though this is labeled as non-comedogenic and best suited for oily skin, I still experienced acne because the consistency of the sunscreen is really thick. It makes it hard to blend (really hard) and upsets my skin.
It also smells a lot like alcohol, more so than most sunscreens, even those from this brand.
I bet it's good for some skins but it simply wasn't for me.
