The Haves and Have-Yachts is a timely, provocative, and darkly entertaining collection of essays by National Book Award winner and New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos. In this audiobook, Osnos delivers an unflinching portrait of America’s modern oligarchy—those at the pinnacle of wealth and power in a new Gilded Age that rivals, and in some ways surpasses, the era of the Carnegies and Rockefellers.

Drawing on years of meticulous reporting and firsthand access, Osnos explores the extravagant, often surreal world of the ultrarich: from superyachts and luxury bunkers to elite tax dodges, political donations, and the psychological distortions that accompany unimaginable fortune. The essays, revised and expanded from their original publication in The New Yorker, expose the tactics, obsessions, and anxieties driving the billionaire class.
