Today we wish Robin Leach a "Happy Birthday" filled with caviar dreams and high priced auctions.
For those of you who don't know, Mr. Leach was the host of "Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous." A television program showing how the other half lived (or, if you were the sort of wealthy, slightly eccentric viewer with lavish tastes and a large home full of interesting and expensive objects each worth more than the average person's total life earnings, how select other members of your half lived). The show ran for 14 years, until the late 1990's, when an unprecedented number of Americans were feeling pretty good about their economic situation and didn't need Robin Leach showing them how generic and plain their homes looked in comparison to the elite crowd of "The Rich and Famous." By 2000, MTV recognized people saw celebrities as something other than normal people, rich or not, and began their own "MTV Cribs" program to once again drag the common people into the home of the rich and famous. By then, Mr. Leach was on to other things, enjoying his double life as a reporter/quasi-celebrity.
To mark Robin Leach's birthday, we present you with a special eBay item that encapsulates the "Lifestyles" spirit. For just a little over $2,000,000, you can obtain this fantastic item. Rich. Famous. Nobody expects you to be good at math, too.
