the grounds of their palace, with wild cats roaming around the front gate? But these
are questions that remain unasked, perhaps because Katherine and her audience do
not really need to ask them. This show is not about our prejudices; it is about gaining
insight into the lives of those who live differently to us.
In particular, her handling of Isabella (who made her first million at the age of
six) highlights how genuine Katherine’s approach is. Any humiliation of this
child (because despite her great wealth and popularity, this is what Isabella is) could
have stuck with her for a lifetime. Ryan remains generous in her interrogations. And
she throws herself into every situation head first, with a healthy dose of scepticism
yet no hint of closed-mindedness in any respect.
Endlessly curious and most importantly interested, Katherine Ryan is the selling
point for me. How’d You Get So Rich? is available on All4.
