hahahaha YES I had pretty much exactly the same thoughts on this as you did in the first 100 or so pages (Tesla???? to be fair it was written before, uh, another billionaire who might spring to mind was constantly in the news, but that sure read interestingly in 2023), after which I couldn't take it any more. It was like it took all the things I already didn't like about her other books (I mean, I know you liked them more, and to be fair some of my complaints are fairly specific) and added on this weird classist vibe (hello, I'm super-mega rich so I can be a complete jerk to everyone who has to work for a living!) that was just incredibly offputting.

Also when I skipped to the end note there was a bit about how she hoped people who weren't always into drinking enjoyed the zero-proof drinks and I was like... I didn't even notice them because by the third chapter I wasn't reading the cocktail recipes! Because I don't drink! *headdesk*
