Robert Frank's "Richistan" is "Winnersville"
Names Palm Beach Today as one of three
publications now covering Palm Beach society

Robert Frank, the writer of The Wealth Report in the Wall Street Journal and the author of the best-selling book, Richistan, is the most knowledgable person in the country when it comes to understanding how the rich of America think and do.
Palm Beachers know Mr. Frank and they like him and trust him. He has visited Palm Beach many times because obviously a book about the rich requires a following of the money.....to Palm Beach.
Maya and I first met him at the Red Cross Ball in 2006 and, excuse me, at the event I got a look at the woman he writes about in his book: "A buxom blonde squeezed into a jewel-encrusted Joy Cherry gown." But you had to be there ... or read Mr. Frank's book as to who was in that gown.
You'll read about many Palm Beachers you know and his book
is absolutely fascinating and a best-seller (last time I checked Classic Books was sold out). The reviews are over the top.
Russ Juskalian's review in USA Today
And, a big thank you to Robert for recognizing and including Palm Beach Today in Richistan as one of the three publications in Palm Beach NOW covering society. Quite an honor considering Palm Beach Today is five years old and competing with the 100+ year old Palm Beach Daily News. -RTJ
