Empire - Season 2 Episode 7 Superclass
"Should we be worried that the superclass seems to have an ever-expanding reach that bypasses governments and remains unchecked?
A new breed has emerged. They set the global agenda, ride on Gulfstreams and manage the credit crunch in their spare time. They are anything but elected; they are entrepreneurs and entertainers, media moguls and former politicians - the self-made super rich who are using their money to lay down a new set of global rules. So where did this new global aristocracy come from and who is keeping them in check?
