Can Billionaires Resurrect the Woolly Mammoth?

Why are billionaires obsessed with bringing animals back from extinction? Have none of them ever seen Jurassic Park? Do they not know the very dire consequences here?Various billionaires (and multimillionaire celebrities like the Hemsworth brothers and Paris Hilton) have invested in trying to bring back the Woolly Mammoth, the Tasmanian Tiger and the Dodo. Sometimes they cloak these quests in an attempt to save the environment by restoring the pre-Ice Age ecosystem. But do they truly want to save the world or do they just want to ride a Woolly Mammoth? You can probably guess what we think.Too Much Money is hosted and produced by Jo Piazza and Doree Shafrir. Music is by Lisa Brenner. Email us at toomuchmoneypodcast@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast.

Does being a billionaire make you crazy or do you need to be crazy to be a billionaire? Too Much Money is a podcast that attempts to answer this question by telling stories about people who have more money than they know what to do with, and use it in ways that are sometimes foolish, often petty, and often ridiculous. Each week, Jo Piazza and Doree Shafrir go deep into the story of one of these extremely rich people and how they’ve spent their money: like $500 million yachts, $250,000 dinosaur fossils, and years-long feuds with their neighbors over ocean views. After all, maybe you CAN be too rich. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
