Lifestyles of the Not-so Rich and Famous

Living like the rich and famous is a dream for many people. But for most of us, it's just that: a dream. We don't have the money to jet around the world, stay in five-star hotels, and eat at the finest restaurants. But that doesn't mean we can't live a little bit like the rich and famous.

"Living like the rich and famous is OK provided you are rich or have that kind of money. Living within your means may help you get there one day but you have to be disciplined now. And who knows, you may just be rich and famous too, one day."

The show was hosted by Robin Leach for most of its run, though Shari Belafonte joined Leach on the show from 1994–1995.
