Donald Trump And Joan Rivers

The new season of TV Land’s PRIME original series “How’d You Get So Rich?” is back and better than ever as the notoriously uncensored Joan Rivers explores the fabulous and fascinating lives of the mega-rich. The 30-minute series premieres on Wednesday, May 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT featuring Joan’s visit with her friend, real estate mogul Donald Trump, who advises on how to make millions, as well as John Paul DeJoria who created Paul Mitchell Hair products and now also owns Patrón Tequila. From the amazing stories of four billionaires to the creator of Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion to cookie queen Mrs. Fields – all of these millionaires made their riches in really interesting ways. Joan asks all the questions no one else would – in the way only Joan can. “How’d You Get So Rich?” is a six-episode series from Mark Burnett Productions and Zoo Productions, Inc. Mark Burnett, Barry Poznick and John Stevens serve as executive producers. “I want to be the first to say, I'm so happy to have me back hosting for a season that is bigger and better than last year’s,” says Joan Rivers. “We have billionaires this year that started with nothing. And one millionaire literally washed his clothes in a river! Another, who had a black and white logo on his first product because he couldn't afford color! These stories are so inspiring because, if these people can do it, any of us can. The only thing that can make this show even better is if one of these Richie's turns out to be beyond wealthy, single, with no living relatives...and gets really turned on by a television hostess who uses a walker at home.”“It is truly inspirational to learn how some of these millionaires made their riches,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. “These are folks who are living the American Dream, including one millionaire who was homeless and collecting bottles and cans to buy food and another who pushed a food cart outside the Hilton Hotel in Tel Aviv!” Among the fascinating stories featured on the show are four people who are on the current Forbes list of richest people in the world; three who didn’t even have indoor plumbing and one millionaire who has a 100 acre home – the size of The University of Texas! The premiere episode on May 5 includes Joan’s friend Donald Trump who gives viewers advice on how to get rich, offering his own dos and don’ts. Find out how much cash this billionaire carries with him when Joan asks him to take out his wallet. The episode also introduces viewers to billionaire John Paul DeJoria who was once homeless and collected bottles and cans in exchange for pennies to buy food. John Paul teamed up with his friend, hair dresser Paul Mitchell to create Paul Mitchell Systems which today reports BILLIONS in annual sales. In 1989 he launched Patrón Tequila which now sells 2 million cases a year. His advice to those looking to make millions is, “Make a great product and then you’re no longer in the selling business, you’re in the re-order business.”
