Image:Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous.jpg:"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" is also a song by Good Charlotte. There is a different song of the same title by Momus. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was a television series that ran from 1984 to 1995. The show featured the usually extravagant lifestyles of wealthy entertainers, athletes, and business moguls. It was hosted by Robin Leach; Leach was joined by Shari Belafonte in 1994, and the show was renamed Lifestyles with Robin Leach and Shari Belafonte.
Lifestyles was one of the first shows to capitalize specifically on Americans' interest in the lives of the wealthy. Later shows such as MTV's Cribs continued this concept.
