In season 2 episode 4 of Secret Lives of the Super Rich, viewers are introduced to two incredibly wealthy individuals living vastly different lifestyles.
The first segment follows the story of a mysterious "blonde billionaire" who has become a bit of a legend in the luxury real estate world. Despite her incredible fortune, little is known about this woman who has bought and sold some of the most expensive properties in the US. Viewers get a glimpse of one of her recent purchases, a stunning $50 million estate in the Hamptons, and follow along as she sets out to renovate and flip the property for a massive profit. Along the way, viewers get a look at some of the truly insane amenities that the ultra-rich expect in their homes, including a walk-in refrigerator filled with fresh flowers and a 7,000 square foot, glass-bottomed swimming pool that doubles as a dance floor.
The second segment takes viewers into the world of underwater jets, a luxury toy for the super rich who want to take their aquatic adventures to the next level. The episode profiles two different companies who specialize in building and selling these machines, which look like a cross between a mini-submarine and a personal watercraft. Viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the manufacturing process and learn about the dizzying array of customization options available for these toys, from personalized paint jobs to integrated sound systems. The episode also highlights some of the most extreme underwater adventures that owners of these jets have taken, from exploring underwater caves to coming face-to-face with great white sharks.
Throughout both segments, viewers are treated to the stunning visuals that have become a hallmark of Secret Lives of the Super Rich, from sweeping drone shots of multi-million dollar estates to underwater footage of these incredible machines in action. Combined with expert insights from industry insiders and colorful commentary from the show's host, the result is an hour of television that shines a light on the incredible lifestyles of the ultra-rich.
