7 Weird Jobs The Children Of Rich Maniacs Bought Themselves

Wealth inequality is more than an injustice. Because here's one way being alive is more interesting than people think it is: wealth inequality created a world of rich kids with infinite capital and finite skills. So on this week's episode of The Cracked Podcast, Alex Schmidt is joined by comedians/podcasters Kate Willett (The Late Show, 'Reply Guys') and Eli Yudin ('What A Time To Be Alive') for a look at the weirdest ways our world's failsons bought themselves professional careers. Listen for pop stardom, sports glory, and more careers you can try on like a hat if your dad is a dictator/mafioso/Bond villain inspiration.
