Fame. Power. Success. Money can bring it all. And drain it all away. From TNT and Raw (“Three Identical Strangers” and “Don’t F**k with Cats“), comes “Rich & Shameless,” a seven-part series of premium films that tell the true stories of the successes, failures, thrills, and miseries that accompany the kind of wealth that ordinary people can never understand. Using a combination of powerful interviews, unique archive, and atmospheric visuals, “Rich & Shameless” goes behind the public façade to reveal the dangers of great prosperity. Subjects covered throughout the docuseries include: the mysterious death of crypto millionaire and suspected con artist Gerald Cotton, Seagrams heiress Clare Bronfman and her involvement in a nefarious sex cult, the unlikely battle between Martin Shkreli and The Wu-Tang Clan, the disappearance of NBA great Bison Dele (formerly Brian Williams) at sea, fashion mogul Peter Nygard’s quest for eternal youth, and more.

TNT’s sneak episode focuses on actress/model Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee with never-before-told stories of the theft, release, and exploitation of the most famous sex tape in history – revealed for the first time by the people involved. Among the exclusive interviews are Amanda Chicago Lewis, an investigative journalist, and writer of the Hulu series “Pam & Tommy“; Helen White, daughter of Milton Ingley, a low-budget porn baron who first sold the infamous tape; Cort St. George, an internet entrepreneur involved in publicizing the tape and Guerin Swing, a close friend of the pair who offers a unique insight into the couple’s mindset at the time of the scandal.
