How much influence do the super rich have? | DW Documentary


What does it mean for democracy when rich citizens can change an entire city? Do the interests of big donors always serve the common good? This film delves into the world of the super-rich and takes a hard look at how much influence they exert.

In Kiel, a dispute has flared up over the Holstein stadium. Soccer patron Gerhard Lütje, founder of…

  1. Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.

  2. Public taxes fund corruption, wars and other government abuses. If only the taxnpayer had a right to agree to how their money is spent

    I think everyone who gives money should be given a right agree how their money is spent

  3. 1. If someone is rich and she feels the need to be taxed more why cant she just donate the assets to the state unless the German govt refuses.

    2. The documentary is the reason you shouldnt trust govt with money. Govt everywhere wont give info about dealings and corruption. That happens simply because they are humans and everyone somehow has life goals and dreams.

  4. A business man only and only makes profits, however government must protect businesses and enforce the rule of law as well for the benefit of Country and their people both. Allawys around the world in mostly less developed democratic countries every one tries to deceive the law, rule by using the loopholes if any in the law or use othe means etc. thanks DW. Opening eyes.

  5. 소위 수퍼리치라는 놈들 중에 가식과 사기가 아니고,,
    실제로 좋은 일을 많이 하자는 거의 없다시피 한다.

    이런 진실이 조만간 세상에 깡그리 다 까발려질 것이다

  6. I prefer to have entrepreneurs doing projects and making money than having the whole world of refugees coming into my European country.
    These refugees get all the social benefits, pay no taxes, and have no European values and have a religion that is incompatible with western civilization.

  7. The key to knowing the state of the economy. Question: Can I afford in the Biden administration what I could afford in the last administration? And the answer is: NO, you cannot. Question: Is the 125% price increase of everything I need to buy and pay equal to the 17% salary increase I got; the answer is: NO, it is not. Question Analysis: Is the Biden administration taking money from doctors, school principals, Engineers, factory workers and transferring that money to the Billionaires “by ways of price increase”. The answer is YES.

  8. In my opinion, donations from rich people are good for society.
    In the case, they have not only self purpose.

    I am a board member of a nonprofit organization and I am learning the importance of donor dialog.
    It is not good for society to receive a large amount of money without communication.

    Bill Gates' association would contribute to society and solve major problems around the world.
    I think he has an impact metrics for donations and communicate with local players.

  9. Today, between 1 pm & 5 pm IST I demonstrated an update of a sustainable energy train in the chatbox of France 24 English. I solicit your cooperation to manage further updates. Double pantograph may not be installed together side by side upon roof of coach/wagon/engine, rather double pantograph may be installed in one number per engine/coach/wagon and single pantograph may be installed upon alternate number of coach/wagon/engine. One pantograph may be installed at one side of the train roof avoiding the existing location of the installation of the pantograph. The next pantograph may be installed at the other side opposite the previous location. Not only double pantograph, double High voltage is requited to be operated by distinct pantograph, one to supply ⚡ into engine and other to feed ⚡ other parallel electric line from output of dyanamo fit with certain types of brakes which is AI enabled with connection and disconnection of electricity from overhead primary HV line. I demonstated first main part of update of sustainable energy train today at France 24English 's chatbox.

  10. I come from a 3rd world / developing country and now a German taxpayer and I just want to say to all German taxpayers that you have no idea how blessed you are to have dedicated guardians of the money you give to the government. To be able to question the rich and challenge the credibility of the government is something you should not take for granted. Excellent journalism!

  11. Blaming the rich is a foolish strategy, if you believe in them why not invest in them ? Amazon isn’t 100% owned by Jeff, May be he owns like 10%, Walmart isn’t 100% owned by Sam the entire family owns like 17-18% same with Apple, MSFT, Google the list can go on. Button like, capitalism is the only sure way to become rich or make others especially country rich

  12. It's good to have this back and forth between the rich, the government and the media so everybody's kept in check. But in today's world, I'd much rather have the rich launch and operate philantropic initiatves to support others than the government. The inefficiency in the government is just so bad that almost nothing works. So the answer in my view is that we should keep this dynamic going.

  13. The poor and middle class distract themselves with paying tons of money to watch football games.

    Meanwhile, the rich and powerful become wealthier by building a stadium so people can watch grown men kick a ball around for 90 minutes.

  14. I can't believe that this your problem, German rich ppl are helping their society, and I don't see slavery, human traffic. Their money, their decision is normal in every case. I think that this documentary is creating a problem of no problem at all, the opposite upon what you showed us.
