"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.

Worth the Price
Color: Matte Black, Size: Medium
At first, I was unsure because of the price, but wow—I was wrong. These worked perfectly with my loafers and flats. They stayed in place and fit comfortably all day. The only downside is the logo on the back, but overall I really like these socks.

Highly recommend
Color: Cream Beige, Size: Medium, Color: Cream Beige, Size: Medium
These are amazing. I have tried a lot of no show socks and either retired, gave away or threw away. These actually stay up. I’ve worn them with flats and sneakers. They are even comfortable wearing around the house without shoes. I highly recommend these. There are small areas they may show, but it’s not enough to bother me.

Works well for sockless look, but annoying branding placement
Color: Matte Black, Size: Medium, Color: Matte Black, Size: Medium
The Good: works great as true no show socks for loafers. Gives you that sock-less look that many “invisible/no show socks” don’t provide for loafer type shoes. I really like these socks because it works for that purpose and they don’t slip off.
The Bad: I hope Ondo considers my review, because although I love the functionality of the socks and would like to buy more, the only thing that prevents me from buying more is that they put their logo right at the heel of the socks. When I’m driving and look down at my shoes, the ONDO branding is very apparent and it’s quite annoying (I bought the black color socks). I’m not buying more pairs because of this one gripe I have with these socks.
Other than that, these socks work well. Just too bad the branding placement of the socks is annoying. Will keep my current pairs but won’t buy more.

Hole after 3 times wearing them
Color: Cream Beige, Size: Medium
While these fit well and stayed up, after three times wearing one of them has a hole in it already. Not worth the money
