What a "Great Gatsby" Life Actually Cost

Описание: Before the Great Depression, there was the greatest party in history. The Roaring Twenties: an age of jazz, speakeasies, and seemingly endless wealth. But what did it really cost to live the "Great Gatsby" dream? 🍾

This documentary breaks down the numbers of the 1920s. We reveal the exact income you needed to survive in a tenement, to join the new consumer middle class with its first-ever car payment, and to be considered a true millionaire tycoon. We'll put real 1920s price tags on everything from a flapper dress and a bottle of illegal gin to a brand new Ford Model T and a luxury penthouse on Park Avenue.

But we'll also uncover the brutal reality behind the glamour—a society fueled by debt, rampant inequality, and a stock market bubble so fragile it was destined to shatter the world.
