Description: A revealing look at the intersection of wealth philanthropy and conservation Billionaire Wilderness takes you inside the exclusive world of the ultra - wealthy showing how today's richest people are using the natural environment to solve the existential dilemmas they face. Justin Farrell spent five years in Teton County Wyoming the richest county in the United States and a community where income inequality is the worst in the nation. He conducted hundreds of in - depth interviews gaining unprecedented access to tech CE Os Wall Street financiers and other prominent figures in business and politics. He also talked with the rural poor who live among the ultra - wealthy and often work for them. The result is a penetrating account of the far - reaching consequences of the massive accrual of wealth and a troubling portrait of a changing American West where romanticizing rural poverty and conserving nature can be lucrative socially as well as financially.
