The Illusionists How the New Rich Rule by Image: A Nonfiction Investigation Into Image, Power, and the New Aristocracy

By Geoffrey Zachary

What does it take to look rich-and what's the price of pretending?

From private jets that never leave the tarmac to billionaires who curate humility for the cameras, The Illusionists is a global expos that cuts through the smoke and mirrors of modern wealth. This groundbreaking investigation journeys across continents-from the gold-plated malls of Dubai to the influencer factories of Los Angeles, from tech-billionaire enclaves to the slums beside skyscrapers-to reveal a disturbing truth:

In the 21st century, illusion has replaced substance.

We no longer just aspire to wealth-we perform it. And those who master the optics now wield power that rivals presidents and monarchs.
