Gunther's Millions, a Netflix documentary series released on February 1st, 2023, is reviewed.
Gunther, a dog who was gifted a fortune, began out as a harmless inheritance. Karlotta Liebenstein was a German Countess who grew up in Munich, and her husband was a university professor. They received their fortune from his pharmaceutical company.
Karlotta passed away in the early 1990s and had no relatives to leave anything to, so she left everything to Gunther. This dog was loved so much that Karlotta trusted him more than others to take her fortune.
Karlotta demonstrates that money isn't everything when you have a large amount of it. In addition to giving her dog everything imaginable, he also has access to servants.
Review of Gunther's Millions
Lee Dahlberg, the director of this four-part series, delves into what actually transpired inside the estate with Gunther roaming around. Dahlberg is Gunther's spokesperson, who was appointed to pick him up by Gunther's PR representative.
Because of how obscure it was, the story did go viral. Maurizio Mian, the man who orchestrated all of the excesses, made the Gunther name bigger than it was. Everyone in Italy knew who he was and it served as a front for something.
Mian took care of him, but there was still something more going on. Carlotta's family was big in her son Gunther, who died at the age of 26.
Carlotta had people around her to assist her, especially Mian's mother, who was the first person to entrust the dog to Mian, who later changed some things about his marketing strategies.
To help themselves, they created their own corporation under the Gunther Trust, which is the focal point of all four episodes. It's a form of manipulative behavior to use the dog in this way; other people profit because of his lack of communication.
Is Gunther's Millions a success?
The difference in perspective on living is fascinating. What started as a loving gesture in memory of her son evolved into a greedy corporation that was created as a result of the inheritance. The lesson here is that the rich continue to prosper and perceive things differently.
They are able to manipulate and profit from the people around them, including the media. The more people that are engaged with the company's purpose the more successful it becomes. Sure, it provided opportunities, but the people within this group only had money on their minds.
The docuseries' style is ideal because it is so luxurious on the outside and it's flashy. But then the interviews are more intimate and dark because of the corporation's logistics.
