The Gilded Age: How Wealth Corrupted America

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Freakin rich people, amiright? I’m not talking about that kid you went to school with that had the parties at his parent’s mansion and gave out the best gift bags. We’re talking bajillionares, like the insanely rich. In today’s episode we’ll dive into the people who paved the way for the Bezos and the Musks of the world. And we’ll also see how and how the Original Richie Richs spent dolla bills. Spoiler: it was on themselves. Obvi! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?
