Summary

We’re ringing in 2021 with a year-end special that’s as decked out as a Murdoch family superyacht. First, Brooke and Aricia talk to Forbes journalist Ollie Williams about how the ultra-rich have managed to keep on partying in lockdown. Next, Bobby Finger, host of the Who? Weekly podcast, joins us to hand out The Richies—our awards for 2020’s most memorable (and disturbing) moments in celebrity culture. Because even the rich drunk-post on Instagram.
