Exactly. And even with sports and entertainment stars combined we're talking, what, maybe 1000 people? Hardly an "overclass." And most of them will burn through their money maintaining a lifestyle of opulence while saving nothing. They'll support their "crews" of sycophants and "posse" of criminals and hangers-on who help them spend their money on useless, gaudy crap faster than they can earn it.

In almost every example, they're multi-millionaires trying to live like billionaires and in the end they wind up just as broke as they started, forced to declare bankruptcy with millions in debt (not to mention child-support payments).

The documentary offers behind-the-marquee stories on several high-profile Newbos, including NBA superstar LeBron James, Major League All-Star Torii Hunter, The Williams brothers of Cash Money Records, Dallas Cowboy star Terrell Owens, billionaire entrepreneur and Newbo pioneer Bob Johnson and musician, Multiplatinum gospel star Kirk Franklin, and television network owner Wyclef Jean.

What a collection of low-lifes.
