History’s Crazy Rich Ancients
Mondays from 5th December at 22:00
Throughout history, our world has been shaped by the rich and powerful. You recognise their names and you know their deeds, but to really understand the insanely rich rulers, tycoons and visionaries who dominated the past we need to follow the money. Who had the most? How did they spend it? In Crazy Rich Ancients, each episode introduces mysterious icons from the past who shared one obsession, from exotic animals to billion-dollar parties to nine-figure palaces. Episodes take viewers on an immersive ride through jaw-dropping decadence to discover who these icons were, and ultimately who amongst them spent the most. (12x30)
