Raphael Rohner:Es geht um Geld, um richtig, richtig viel Geld. Eigentlich müsste man meinen, dass jeder und jede in der Schweiz früher oder später über Nacht ein paar hundert Millionen Franken mehr auf seinem Konto hat und dann in Saus und Braus leben könnte. Zumindest wenn wir den Gegnerinnen und Gegnern der neuen Juso-Initiative zuhören, dann bekommt man das Gefühl, dass viele Leute von dieser neuen Initiative betroffen sind. Das ist aber nicht so. Nur wenige Leute haben überhaupt so viel Geld, dass sie zur Kasse beten würden. Ein durchaus emotionales Thema, wie immer, wenn es ums Geld geht. Ihr hört hinter der Schlagzeile diesen Podcast von CH Media. Am Mikrofon Raphael Rohner. Bei mir im Studio ist Politchefin von CH Media Doris Kleck. Worum geht es bei dieser Initiative genau? Doris Kleck:Die Juso will mit ihrer Initiative, dass grosse Erbschaften bestürzt werden. Genau geht es um Erbschaften ab 50 Mio. Franken. Für diese soll ein Steuersatz von 50% gelten. Ich kann ein Beispiel machen. Wenn du 60 Mio. Franken erbst, dann ist das 10 Mio. über einem Freibetrag. Dann müsstest du 50% auf 10 Mio. zahlen. Das heisst, du würdest eine Erbschaftsteuer von 5 Mio. entrichten müssen. Findest du nicht so viel? Wenn sie 1 Mio. sind, dann musst du die Hälfte von 950 Mio. steuern. Dann sind wir bei 475 Mio. Franken. Das ist der eine Teil. Die Juso will eine nationale Erbschaftsteuer-Initiative einführen. Bis jetzt haben wir kantonale Erbschaftsteuern. Die sind kantonal geregelt. Das Zweite ist, weil die Juso sagt, sie will, dass die Einnahmen für die Bekämpfung der Klimakrise und den besseren Klimaschutz verwendet werden. Die zusätzlichen Einnahmen wären zweckbund. Das sind die zwei Ziele der Initiative. Darum heisst sie auch «Initiative für eine Zukunft». Raphael Rohner:«Initiative für eine Zukunft». Das ist spannend. Wie viele Leute werden betroffen? Du hast gesagt, wenn ich jetzt so viel erbe, was wahrscheinlich nicht passieren würde, wirst du so viel Geld erben? Doris Kleck:Nein, ich werde auch nicht so viel Geld erben. Ich bin nicht direkt betroffen von dieser Initiative. Laut Steuerverwaltung sind 2500 Personen direkt betroffen. In der Schweiz leben 2500 Personen mit einem Vermögen von über 50 Mio. Franken. Aber diese Initiative wird indirekte Effekte haben. Das ist ein grosser Streitpunkt zwischen Befürworter und Gegner. Der Bund geht davon aus, dass ein grosser Teil der «Superreichen», wie die Juso sagt, wegziehen würde. Damit würden andere Einnahmen fehlen. Die Supervermögen zahlen Einkommensteuern und heute schon Vermögensteuern. Raphael Rohner:Ist es nicht so, dass die «Superreichen» zum Teil auch pauschal besteuert werden und keine grosse Wertschöpfung auf unsere Gesellschaft haben? Doris Kleck:Das ist etwas anderes. Nicht alle «Superreichen» werden pauschal besteuert. Vor allem nicht die Schweizer. Peter Spuler wird nicht pauschal besteuert in der Schweiz. Auch Willi Michel nicht. Pauschal besteuert werden können nur Ausländer. Die haben keinen Job oder Arbeitseinkommen mehr in der Schweiz. Darum werden sie nach Aufwand besteuert. Das ist etwas, was die Juso kritisiert. Die pauschal Besteuerten sind superreich und haben ein Vermögen auf der ganzen Welt. Das hat man bei den Datengrundlagen nicht berücksichtigt, dass es die pauschal Besteuerten auch gibt. Das Problem ist, dass die Kantone keinen Zugriff auf die Daten haben. Die werden nach Aufwand besteuert. Was man davon ausgehen kann, die pauschal Besteuerten kommen in die Schweiz, um Steuern zu sparen. Das sind extrem mobile Personen. Die haben drei Wohnsitze. Einen in Italien, einen in Dubai, einen irgendwo. Das sind auch Leute, die zum Steueroptimieren kommen. Das sind auch die ersten, die weg sind. Raphael Rohner:Aber es sind wahrscheinlich auch nicht die, die etwas vererben. Doris Kleck:Heute ist es in der Schweiz bei den kantonalen Erbschaftssteuern, dass du als Erbe bezahlst. Bei dieser Initiative wäre es so, dass der Erblasser, der besteuert wird, auf einem Nachlass erhoben wird. Das stimmt. Wenn ein pauschal Besteuerter mit einem Vermögen von 2 Mrd. in der Schweiz sterben würde, ist die Vorstellung, dass sein Nachlass, sein Vermögen von den 2 Mrd. in der Schweiz besteuert wird. Auch wenn seine Erben auf der ganzen Welt verteilt werden. Das ist ein anderer Mechanismus, wie die Erbschaftssteuer berechnet wird. Raphael Rohner:Wie gefährlich ist die Initiative wirklich? Doris Kleck:Die Gegner dieser Initiative sagen, sie treffe v.a. Unternehmer. Unternehmer haben ihr Vermögen. Das liegt nicht einfach auf dem Bankkonto. Das haben sie investiert in ein Unternehmen, in Anlagen, das ist Betriebsvermögen. Sie sagen, wenn wir die Erbschaftssteuer entrichten müssten, müssten wir die Unternehmen verkaufen, damit die Erbschaftssteuer bezahlt werden könnte. Das ist das eine. Wieso sich v.a. die in der Schweiz verankerten Unternehmen wehren, ich weiss nicht, vor einem Jahr oder im Sommer sagte Peter Spuler, der Bahnunternehmer aus Thurgau, er überlege sich schon wegzuziehen wegen dieser Initiative. Diese Initiative löste bei vielen reichen Leuten Nervosität aus. Das ist das eine. Das andere ist, wieso wir indirekt von diesen Unternehmen betroffen wären, wenn diese superreichen weggehen und Bund und Kantone andere Einnahmen fehlen. Die Schweiz hat z.B. eine recht hohe Vermögensteuer. Ich glaube, 1% der top Haushalte, der reichsten Haushalte, zahlen auf Vermögensteuer in der Schweiz. Sie bringt ca. 9 Mrd. Fr. ein. Das ist eine Steuer, die die Kantone sehr gerne haben, weil sie sehr konstant und gut berechenbar ist. 1% der vermögendsten Haushalte in der Schweiz zahlen 51% der Vermögensteuer. Die 5% der reichsten Haushalte zahlen sogar 87% der Vermögensteuer. Raphael Rohner:Also ein Haufen Geld, das am Schluss fehlen könnte. Doris Kleck:Genau. Die Schweiz hat eine hohe Progression bei den Einkommen. Raphael Rohner:Was heisst Progression? Doris Kleck:Je reicher du bist, desto grösser ist der Anteil des Einkommens, den du steuern zahlen musst. Je reicher, desto mehr beteiligst du dich an der Finanzierung des öffentlichen Lebens. Die Angst der Gegner ist auch, dass ein Teilhalt dieser Einnahmen wegfallen würde. Es gibt konservative Schätzungen des Bundes. Sie gehen davon aus, dass der Schweiz 1,3 bis 1,7 Mrd. Fr. entgehen würde, wenn diese Initiative angenommen wird. Die Frage ist, wie die Finanzierungslücke entdeckt wird, die entsteht. Es ist befürchtet, dass wir als Mittelstand geschröpft werden, wenn die Reichen weggehen. Die JUSO sagt, das sei alles Angstmacherei. Es ist doch ganz einfach. Je höher die Steuern sind, desto höher sind die Einnahmen. Raphael Rohner:Aber die JUSO sagt, dass umso mehr solche Steuern erhoben werden, umso mehr Geld reinkommt. Sie haben ja auch die Zahlen. Das zeigt mir auch der Rundschau, der heftig diskutiert wurde. Gibt es nicht auch mehr Geld, wenn man mehr Steuern einzieht? Doris Kleck:Bei den Steuern spricht man von Elastizität. Dieses Konzept gibt es auch in anderen Bereichen der Ökonomie. Du kannst die Steuern bis zu einem gewissen Grad erhöhen. Dann gibt es vielleicht höhere Einnahmen. Aber irgendwann kommt der Effekt, dass die Leute ihr Verhalten anpassen. Wenn du einen Steuersatz von 50 % hast, kannst du davon ausgehen, dass sie reichen. Sie haben auch die Mittel dazu, dass sie ihr Verhalten anpassen. Du kannst die Leute ja nicht in der Schweiz physisch festhalten. Die JUSO sagt, dass der Bundesrat schauen kann, dass die Steuern nicht umgehen. Aber du kannst diesen Leuten nicht den Pass wegnehmen und sagen, sie dürften nicht auswandern. Das geht einfach nicht. Wir haben keine Kapitalkontrolle. Auch wenn jemand von diesen Reichen auswandert, kann es sein, dass er wegen etwas anderem geht, weil er heiratet oder den Guggen war. Und gar nicht wegen dieser Erbschaftssteuer. Es ist extrem schwierig, das zu verhindern. Der Bund hat diese Elastizität auch berechnen lassen. Marius Brühlhardt, der Ökonom aus Lausanne, kennt sich wahrscheinlich am besten in der Schweiz mit den Erbschaftssteuern aus. Er ist ein Befürworter einer moderaten Erbschaftssteuer. Aber er kam auch zum Schluss, dass viele ihr Verhalten anpassen würden und weggehen würden. Ich würde sagen, das ist ein unverdächtiger Kronzeuge auf der Seite des Bundes. Raphael Rohner:Aber wie schlimm wäre es, wenn die reichen Leute gehen würden? Da würden sie viel Geld fehlen. Andererseits kommen sie vielleicht auch mehr Leute her, weil sie finden, es sei ein faires System. Doris Kleck:Boah, das glaube ich nicht. Sie könnten ja schon heute kommen und sagen, die Vermögenssteuer ist weltweit nicht verbreitet. Wenn jemand gerne Steuern zahlen will, ist es nicht so, dass die Schweiz die Reichen überhaupt nicht hart anlangt oder ihnen das Geld nicht nimmt. Die Schweiz hat auch hohe Steuern für vermögende Personen. Und wenn jemand findet, er würde gerne Vermögenssteuer zahlen, ist er da herzlich willkommen. Raphael Rohner:Fassen wir nochmals schnell zusammen. Die JUSO verlangt bei ihrer neuen Initiative, dass bei Erbschaften über 50 Mio. Fr. die Hälfte des Betrags an Bund geht. Und das Geld wird nicht für etwas ausgehen wie für Bildung. Nein, das Geld ist zweckgebunden und soll in den Klimaschutz fliessen. Schnell einen Blick auf die Befürworter. Welche Argumente haben sie? Haben sie auch gute Argumente für diese Initiative? Wie siehst du das? Doris Kleck:Sie sagen, die Reichen seien diejenigen, die unser Klima, unsere Umwelt kaputt machen. Und die sollen jetzt auch zahlen. Sie verbinden die Vermögensungleichheiten, die es gibt, die auch zunimmt, auch in der Schweiz. Das ist etwas, das sie anprangern. Und das Zweite ist die Klimakrise und der ganze Klimawandel. Und sie verbinden diese zwei Elemente. Sie sagen, die Reichen mit ihren Yachten und Privatschätzen verursachen mehr CO2-Emissionen. Und darum sollen sie auch für den Klimaschutz aufkommen. Das ist ihr Argument. Es ist tatsächlich so, wenn du reich bist, kannst du mehr konsumieren. Raphael Rohner:Aber es ist schon etwas so. Die reichen Leute mit ihren Yachten sorgen einfach auch beweisenermassen dafür, für eine grössere Umweltbelastung, für eine grössere Umweltzerstörung und für einen grösseren CO2-Ausstoss. Es ist ja eigentlich so. Dazu gibt es Fakten. Doris Kleck:Ja gut, es gibt verschiedene Studien. Ich gebe dir grundsätzlich recht. Je reicher du bist, desto mehr konsumierst du, fliegst du, hast du einen grösseren CO2-Ausstoss. Was aber interessant ist, die reichen Leute für den Franken, den sie konsumieren, ist der grösste Teil. Sie konsumieren nachhaltiger, als wahrscheinlich du und ich oder irgendjemand, der wenig Geld hat. Weil sie sich auch mehr leisten können. Sie gehen dann wahrscheinlich in den Naturwiegenposten oder das Biofleisch zum Beispiel zum Nahrungsmittel nehmen. Oder sie kaufen nachhaltiger produzierte Kleider, weil sie einfach teurer sind. Raphael Rohner:Aber dafür dreimal im Jahr neue Kleider? Doris Kleck:Das ist die Frage. Es gibt auch viele, die nicht so viel Geld haben, die dreimal im Jahr neue Kleider kaufen. Einfach billige Produkte aus China, die überhaupt nicht nachhaltig sind. Ich finde, ich warne einfach davon, zum... Ich meine, es ist auch extrem polemisch. Die haben einfach alle Yachts und Yachten und Privatjet und unbestritten, wenn man mehr Geld hat, konsumiert man mehr, aber man konsumiert vielleicht auch nachhaltiger. Das ist das eine. Und was mich etwas stört, ist, der Bund gibt 2 Mrd. pro Jahr für Klimaschutzmassnahmen aus. Zum Beispiel, wenn du dein Haus sanieren möchtest oder deine Höhenheizung ersetzen möchtest, kannst du dir Subventionen abholen. Es passiert einiges in diesem Bereich. Jetzt kann man sagen, 2 Mrd. ist uns zu wenig. Aber diese 2 Mrd. kommen aus dem Haushalt. Es sind Steuereinnahmen, die man dafür braucht. Und wer zahlt mehr Steuern? Das sind wieder die Reichen und die Vermögenden. Sie beteiligen sich heute überproportional an diesen Ausgaben für den Klimaschutz. Das passiert schon. Raphael Rohner:Braucht diese Initiative deiner Meinung nach gar nicht? Doris Kleck:Ich finde, diese Initiative hat Nebeneffekte, die nicht cool sind, die nicht gut sind. Ich finde, man sollte Unternehmertum in der Schweiz nicht anbürgen. Ich finde, die Vorstellungen der Juso sind einfach. Sie haben das Gefühl, wenn man die Unternehmen nichts für den Klimaschutz macht. Ich glaube, der Staat muss molenkend eingreifen und Klimaschutzmassnahmen fördern. Aber die Juso stellt alles am Pranger, wie wenn jedes Unternehmen und jeder Unternehmer extrem klimaschädigend wäre. Dass der Staat das besser könnte, das glaube ich nicht. Ich meine nur das Weltbild, das sie haben. Es schwirren auch Umsetzungsmassnahmen herum. Es gibt ein Papier der SP-Fraktion oder der Fraktion Spitze, das sagt, wir wollen gar nicht Familienunternehmen zerstören. Wir können das anders machen. Sie haben einen Vorschlag, dass sie die Unternehmen-Aktien dem Staat abgeben. Raphael Rohner:Das wäre eine Enteignung. Doris Kleck:Ja, bei aller Liebe, das ist wie Planwirtschaft pur. Dass der Staat, vielleicht ist das Geld besser, wenn das Geld im Unternehmen bleibt und das Unternehmen sich klimafreundlich verhält. Dort die Transformation investieren. Ich weiss nicht, ob du die Rundschau geschaut hast. Dort wurde die Juso-Präsidentin Hostetmana gefragt, wie sie sich die neue Wirtschaft vorstellt. Die Juso will nicht nur den Klimawandel bekämpfen, sondern sie will einen Totalumbau der Wirtschaft. Raphael Rohner:Das habe ich gesehen. Doris Kleck:Dann sagt sie, sie wollen weg vom Turbo-Kapitalismus, und wir wollen eine nachhaltigere Wirtschaft. Zum Beispiel müssen nachhaltige Sektoren wie der Care-Sektor massiv ausgebaut werden. Care-Arbeit ist wahrscheinlich die Kita-Betreuer und die ganze Pflege. Unsere Wirtschaft oder unsere Gesellschaft kann nicht bestehen, indem wir einfach mehr Leute... Ich sage nicht, dass der Care-Sektor nicht wichtig ist, aber wir können ja nicht die Leute einfach für den Care-Sektor ausbilden. Das kann auch nicht unsere Wirtschaft sein. Wir müssen ja Wertschöpfung erwirtschaften. Es ist auch ein komisches Bild, dass wenn ein paar Leute reicher werden, dass alle anderen ärmer werden. Sie machen einfach Milchbüchelrechnungen, die nicht stimmen. Sie haben wirklich ein komisches Bild unserer Wirtschaft. Ich glaube, das ist so... Ja... Das finde ich schwierig an dieser Initiative. Raphael Rohner:Was hättest du anders formuliert, wenn du diese Initiative lanciert hättest? Doris Kleck:Ich meine, die Diskussion über die Erbschaft steuert sich immer wieder. Die Kantone hatten früher noch höhere Erbschaftssteuern. Respektive sie haben früher noch Kinder noch bezahlen lassen. Viele Kantone sind davon weggekommen. Ich glaube ausser Kanton Waadt und Kanton Jura. Es kann funktionieren mit einer Erbschaftssteuer. Unsere Wirtschaft bricht nicht zusammen, aber dann muss es ein sehr moderater Satz sein. 50% ist wirklich einfach... Ja, das ist wirklich einfach so viel. Das funktioniert so nicht. Wenn man eine solche Steuer erhebt, gibt es viele negative Effekte. Die Initiative kann uns dazu bewegen, dass wir uns überlegen, wie unser Steuersystem aussehen würde, wenn wir es auf der grünen Wiese bauen würden. Raphael Rohner:Also komplett neu. Doris Kleck:Komplett neu. Dann kann man sich schon überlegen, wie es nicht sein würde, eine moderate Erbschaftsteuer zu haben. Aber dann muss man sich auch überlegen, wie sich das mit unserer Vermögenssteuer vertreibt. Vermögenssteuer ist von den Unternehmern auch nicht geliebt, weil es an der Substanz zerrt. Könnte man eine neue Mischform machen, eine moderate Erbschaftsteuer, um die Vermögenssteuer zu senken? Man könnte sich auch überlegen, ob es sinnvoll ist, immer nur unsere Mehrwertsteuer zu erhöhen. Raphael Rohner:Das wäre ein Ansatz. Doris Kleck:Da bin ich auch nicht sicher. Das Problem ist einfach, es gibt verschiedene Argumente für und gegen jede Steuer. Bei den Vermögenssteuern ist es so, dass die Kantone es sehr gerne haben, weil sie konstant fliessen. Bei den Erbschaften wird es viel volatiler, weil du nicht weisst, wenn in deinem Kanton eine hohe Erbschaft anfällt. So gibt es immer dafür und dann wieder. Ich finde es eine tolle, theoretische Überlegungsschiebung, ein neues Steuersystem zu schaffen. Aber wir sind nicht an diesem Punkt. Raphael Rohner:Wir sind an dem Punkt, wo es darum geht, ob wir die Juso-Initiative annehmen oder ablehnen. Danke für das Gespräch. Doris Kleck:Danke für die Einladung. Tschüss.

Money and power are merging on the high seas. The New Yorker's Evan Osnos exposes how super yachts became the new seat of American oligarchy.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1217What We Discuss with Evan Osnos:Billionaire political donations increased 200x in 20 years ($25M to $3B in 2024), marking America's shift from democracy to oligarchy — where economic and political power fuse.Super yachts are floating power centers — not just status symbols but boardrooms, tax havens, and networking hubs where billion-dollar deals happen beyond public scrutiny and regulation.Each super yacht pollutes like 1,500 cars running continuously, costs 10 percent of its purchase price annually to maintain, and creates toxic work environments for crew in legal gray zones.The ultra-wealthy face insatiable desire — where 50-meter boats become "embarrassing," half-billion-dollar yachts are "quite nice," and satisfaction remains perpetually out of reach.History shows extreme inequality resolves through crisis — war, revolution, or pandemic. But we can prevent these outcomes by making systems less advantageous to the few and more inclusive to all. Support politicians who limit campaign finance influence. Vote with your wallet. Build communities that value contribution over consumption.

Steven Spielberg. Jeff Bezos. De koninklijke familie van Qatar. Wat hebben deze mensen gemeen? Ze lieten allemaal een superjacht bouwen in Nederland. En da's geen toeval, want Nederland staat bekend als het Mekka van de jachtbouw. Maar gelukkig hoef je tegenwoordig geen supermiljardair te zijn om een schip in Nederland te laten bouwen. Ook als simpele multimiljonair kun je in Nederland terecht. Het Steenwijkse bedrijf Steeler Yachts bouwt jachten die kleiner van formaat, maar wel luxe zijn. En dat is een opkomende markt. Presentatrice Margje Fikse gaat hierover in gresprek met: Hans Webbink, oprichter en eigenaar van Steeler Yachts

What's up Bros? Miami is having a great season. But there is one thing looming that could derail this whole show. The lack of empathy and the double standards we're witnessing are crazy. Guerdy is being held to an entirely different standard than the rest of the ladies. In this episode, the group is headed out on a yacht for the evening. Before we get there, Dr Nichol makes an appearance and her presence has never been more necessary than it is now. While she didnt agree with everything Guerdy had done, she also didnt isolate her and treat her like the worst person in the group. Stephanie shows off her renovations to Larsa. The boats are divided by who is getting along and who isn't. Adriana doesn't care about being on the other boat, she gets lit and hollers across the water to make sure Marysol can hear her. Stephanie and Alexia butt heads again. After a "game" of say something nice, Julia and Guerdy have a discussion but it's quickly interrupted by Marysol and Alexia acting as though what Guerdy did was unforgivable.

We're living in a golden age of yachts, bunkers, and ultra-wealth – and social media is eating it up. Audie talks with journalist and author Evan Osnos about what this era reveals about American culture and class. His book is called, “The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich.”  The Assignment is a production of CNN Podcasts. This episode was produced by Lori Galarreta and Grace Walker.

Depending on who you ask, some would call the ultrarich “shameless”; others might say “aspirational.” For example: Mukesh Ambani, the Indian centibillionaire, has a room of snow in the Indian tropics—to say nothing of his skyscraper home, 168-car garage, and 600-person-staff. And celebrations for his kids' weddings featured Rihanna and Beyoncé. This is nothing new. Aristotle Onassis had whales' teeth carved into pornographic scenes from The Odyssey, and stools upholstered in whale foreskins which he kept aboard his yacht—because where else would you keep that? And one hedge-fund billionaire—whose name you won't even know—bought a 14-foot shark preserved in formaldehyde. Why? Why not? These opulent displays of wealth just scratch the surface. There are blood boys, Basquiats, and bunkers, many of them in New Zealand for the end of the world. From the Kochs to the Kardashians—most of us cannot look away. But one question remains: Do Americans loathe or love the ultrarich? That's one of the questions raised by Evan Osnos's new book, The Haves and the Have-Yachts. Evan is a staff writer at The New Yorker and an author—several times over. In his newest book, he investigates how this class of people—the “Have-Yachts”—got their money, how they spend it, and how they fight to keep it. It all paints a fascinating picture not just about America and capitalism, but about human nature and the status games we play. The book feels eerily relevant in this moment of social and political breakdown, fueled—perhaps above all—by rage at the economic picture and economic inequality. As Zohran Mamdani—the self-proclaimed socialist and likely future mayor of New York City—says, “Billionaires should not exist.” And anti-elite sentiment grows on the right, too—through voices like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Today on Honestly, Bari asks Evan Osnos what this level of income inequality means for America, if a revolt or a revolution is in our future, and how AI is going to supercharge an already precarious status quo.

The newest, titled "Land of Make-Believe," was published in 2024. In his introduction, Osnos writes that: "Reporting in the enclaves of the very rich, Monte Carlo, Palm Beach, Palo Alto and Hollywood is complicated. It's not a world that relishes scrutiny."

A mega-donor to the Republican Presidential campaign, Elon Musk got something no other titan of industry has ever received: an office in the White House and a government department tailor-made for him, with incalculable influence in shaping the Administration. But even with Musk out of Washington, it remains a fact that the influence of wealth in America has never been greater. As one case in point, Donald Trump's “big beautiful bill” is estimated to raise or leave flat the taxes of about 57 million households, while the top five per cent of earners will have their taxes cut by more than $1.5 trillion. From his perch in Washington, Evan Osnos has for years been looking at the politics of hyper-wealth. While the wealthy have always held outsized influence, Osnos explains how tech tycoons, in particular, sought far greater influence under Donald Trump's second Administration. “These are guys who really believed that they were the greatest example of entrepreneurship,” he tells David Remnick, “and that all of a sudden they found that, no, they were being called monopolists, that they were being accused of invading people's privacy, that in fact they had been blamed for the degradation of democracy, of our children's emotional health, of our attention spans. They suddenly saw that there was a new President who would not only forgive any of those kinds of mistakes and patterns of abuse but would in fact celebrate them, and would roll back any of the regulation that was in their way.” Osnos's new book, collected from his reporting in The New Yorker, is “The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich.”

Following Donald Trump's election in 2016, New Yorker reporter Evan Osnos wanted to understand what the president's wealth and status represented in the minds of his supporters – and in American culture at large. Osnos began reporting on the lives of the ultrawealthy, including the small but growing billionaire class. Now, Osnos has published a collection of essays The Haves and Have-Yachts, which explores the American relationship to immense wealth through anecdotes about superyachts, private concerts with pop stars, and doomsday preppers. In today's episode, Osnos speaks with NPR's Frank Langfitt about widening inequality, status anxieties among oligarchs, and what it feels like to live in a new Gilded Age.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Heesen Yachts CEO Niels Vaasen and US sales director Thom Conboy share candid stories and behind-the-scenes insights — from the legendary founder Frans Heesen to the company's exciting new Dutch shareholder. Thom vividly recalls the electric moment 30 years ago when the 35-meter Tropic Sea (now Sea Axis) stole the spotlight at Bahia Mar — a defining memory for Frans, who felt “like King Kong.” That iconic yacht is still cruising today, part of Heesen's ever-growing and evolving fleet. From navigating the sales process (“sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs”) to celebrating with chocolate cake at launches, they dive into how the company has evolved — from sleek interiors to groundbreaking construction. They touch on Ultra G, one of the fastest large yachts in recent history, and why today's clients increasingly favour steel builds over speed, valuing time as their ultimate luxury.

“Let me tell you about the very rich”, Scott Fitzgerald once said. “They are different from you and me”. One way they are different, the New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos reports, is that they own yachts - very very big, expensive yachts. In The Haves and The Have-Yachts, Osnos' dispatches about today's ultrarich, he takes us on board these boats to reveal the obscenity of our new gilded age. From Mark Zuckerberg's obsession with Augustus Caesar to the thin-skinned grievances of figures like Marc Andreessen and Elon Musk, Osnos explores how the personal quirks and anxieties of just 19 American plutocrats - the 0.00001% - are now reshaping our entire society. He argues we're living in an era of "flamboyant oligarchy," where billionaires openly flaunt their wealth. Citing the extraordinary tableau of tech moguls lining up in homage to Trump at his inauguration, Osnos describes our age as "the complete and total fusion of politics and plutocracy in the United States." five key takeaways1. We're Living in an Era of "Flamboyant Oligarchy" Unlike past wealthy elites who stayed hidden ("a whale that never surfaces doesn't get harpooned"), today's billionaires openly compete for attention and flaunt their wealth, fundamentally changing the relationship between extreme wealth and public life.2. Just 19 People Could Control 18% of America's Wealth The 0.00001% - currently 19 Americans - control 1.8% of national wealth today. If current trends continue, this could reach 18% within 40 years, representing an unprecedented concentration of economic power in human history.3. Personal Quirks Have Massive Social Consequences Billionaires' individual obsessions and blind spots shape society at scale - from Facebook being blue because Zuckerberg is colorblind, to his Augustus Caesar fixation influencing how he thinks about power and empire-building.4. The Complete Fusion of Politics and Plutocracy Trump's inauguration, featuring tech moguls "lined up in homage," represents the total merger of political and economic power in America - what Osnos calls a "sultanistic oligarchy" where billionaires have elevated Trump to rule on their behalf.5. Billionaires Are Surprisingly Thin-Skinned and Aggrieved Despite their wealth, figures like Musk and Andreessen are easily offended and resentful about public criticism, leading them not to retreat but to actively seek control over politics and media to reshape the narrative in their favor.
