Chosen as a book of the year by the New Yorker, Financial Times, The Times and Sunday Times.
‘A field guide to the super-rich . . . a hoot to chronicle – and even more fun to read’Sunday Times
The one percent now hold more of America’s wealth than they did in the heyday of the Carnegies and Rockefellers, and their habits cast a longer shadow than ever before. With deft storytelling and meticulous reporting, Evan Osnos exposes the hidden world of the ultrarich in all its outrageous, fabulous, ridiculous detail: superyachts, luxury bunkers, private gigs, wealth managers, elite tax dodges and a torrent of political donations.
Osnos’s essays are an entertaining, unsettling and eye-opening wake-up call – a case against complacency in the face of unchecked excess and staggering disparities of wealth and power. As the choices of the ultrarich ripple through our lives, The Haves and Have-Yachts couldn’t be more relevant to today’s world.
‘A prestige romp’ New York Times

Kritikerstimmen
‘A field guide to the super-rich . . . Evan Osnos, a writer for the New Yorker, gained access to the world of the 0.00001 per cent and reports on their thinking and behaviour, their manners and delusions. Sure, it’s not the toughest beat but a hoot to chronicle – and even more fun to read’
‘An eye-opening account of superyachts, the billionaires who buy them, and what it all means for the rest of us . . . [a] droll and timely analysis of extreme wealth’
‘Beneath the laughs, there is a serious point. Osnos chronicles how business leaders, notably Donald Trump and Elon Musk, see money and political power as two sides of the same coin’
'There is something of the Hogarthian morality tale about the stories . . . wonderfully salacious'
'A beautifully written and often amusing climb to the very top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs' (Rana Foroohar)
'Toggling between extravagances like simulated World War II battles and dueling luxury disaster refuges, Osnos takes the reader deep into our new Gilded Age'
‘A collection of essays on the various insanities of the contemporary ultrarich . . . ‘The Floating World’ makes for a great introduction, not just thorough but also funny. Even funnier, though more alarming, is ‘Survival of the Richest’ . . . they are all examples of superb, dogged journalism. Osnos writes well and fact-checks his material obsessively. Furthermore, the issues he raises are profound’ (Bryan Appleyard)
‘[An] excellent book about the lives of the ultra-rich’
'Revelatory' (Rosemary Goring)
'A thoroughly reported and spryly narrated – and deeply maddening – tour of extreme wealth'
