More words of wisdom from the progeny of the idle rich:
· Cody Franchetti (pointing to a set of 1921 encyclopedias): "This was the last year encyclopedias were made for the [wealthy]. You see how thin they are? They are full of information that we would need to better ourselves and reach a higher level...Now they are crap for the masses."
· Christina Floyd (on a tour of the Southampton Meadow Club): "People would not be very excited if someone came in with a black person." (When Johnson pointed out a black man playing tennis), Floyd laughed, "Oh, he's probably a pro."
· Stephanie Ercklentz: "I love purses. They are so easy to buy. I have shelves and shelves of them...It's not a big deal. I want a Gucci purse, I buy it...I would have to marry within my [social group], because I couldn't have a husband who would freak out if I bought a $600 Gucci purse. I used to work [at an investment bank], but the first day was like from 7 a.m. to 10 at night, and then I realized all my friends were having lunch at Cipriani's and why wasn't I there?"

Autotote gaming heir, Luke Weil, sued Johnson & Johnson heir, Jamie Johnson, to stop his documentary, "Born Rich," from being distributed. The documentary includes several obnoxious quotes by Weil, who says he was tricked into speaking on film. The documentary also includes appearances by Ivanka Trump, Si Newhouse IV, Georgina Bloomberg, and Vanderbilt/Whitney scion, Josiah Hornblower.
