Dancing with Death - The True Story of a Glamorous Showgirl, Her Wealthy Husband, and a Horrifying Murder is the typical tale of a mentally ill stripper who got greedy and careless.

Fake Feminist Melinda French Gates
Doomed Planet
#125: In her new book, billionaire heiress Melinda Gates tries to present herself as a good human being with an interesting life and the same challenges normal people face. The Next Day: Transitions, Change and Moving Forward is a banal self-indulgent brag rag crammed with cliches and soured by boring, bad writing. It betrays a profound lack of self awareness. Being a billionaire is not a feminist concept - especially if you are known to fight capital gains taxes that would directly benefit working mothers.

Doomed Planet
#122: Saudi-financed Lucid Motors is losing the race when it comes to providing electric cars for rich people. Lucid's former CEO received a 379 million dollar pay package and then resigned, and the stock tanked. Amazon-backed Rival car producer Rivian's stock is also doing poorly, and the share price of crazy guy Elon Musk's Tesla has plummeted as well. The most offensive aspect of these American electric car companies is their marketing. Is buying a $100,000 sports car or SUV really going to save the earth?

My Bodyguard: Security Goon Gavin de Becker
Doomed Planet
#121: Security consultant to the stars Gavin de Becker provides protection for cartoonish billionaire supervillains Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and contributed millions to Robert F. Kennedy. He claims that his secretive MOSAIC threat assessment surveillance system can predict violence before it happens. The title of his best selling pseudo scientific pop sociology advice book The Gift of Fear says it all - the more paranoid people become the more money he makes.
