Born Rich

Bored twenty-something heir to the Johnson and Johnson family makes a documentary about the vexations of growing up rich. The film works best when he stops narrating and focuses on his friends (including Ivanka Trump and the brutally honest heir to the Whitney/Vanderbilt fortune). Mostly enjoyable, often revealing, and provides a few laugh-out-loud moments, including finance heir Stephanie Ercklentz’s revelation that not all consumers can buy $500 shoes, or that some people are still “doing paper” (you know, for writing and other archaic pasttimes). B-.
