About :
Germany is in the grip of a crisis… but it has spared the rich. This documentary offers a close-up look at the often hidden world of millionaires and billionaires. How do the rich see themselves and their privileges? The film accompanies the director of a well-known luxury watch manufacturer on the French Atlantic coast. He criticizes Germany for over-regulating everything related to its entrepreneurs, and believes that those who take risks should be rewarded for doing so. Meanwhile, a building contractor from the German city of Dusseldorf explains that not all millionaires are great achievers, as most of them have inherited their wealth, and calls on politicians to raise taxes on the rich, so that the money can be used to solve the country’s pressing problems, such as infrastructure or education. The film also shows scenes from daily school life at an elite boarding school in the German village of Salem, where the wealthy and entrepreneurs spend tens of thousands of euros each year so that their children can attend. This is also where they should learn to take responsibility, so that they can later manage their parents' family businesses. Hundreds of thousands of companies in Germany are currently being handed down to future generations. The super-rich live long lives and enjoy tax benefits. It is estimated that Germany has lost 380 billion euros since 1996 due to the abolition of the wealth tax. Are millionaires up to the task of being responsible in times of crisis? ـــــ #Documentary #DW #dwdocs #Germany #Wealth #Millionaire ـــــ DW's call for dialogue: https://p.dw.com/p/OYIo More documentaries are available on our websites in English: http://www.dw.com/ar/tv/docfilm/s-3610 / dwdocumentary / dw.stories
