Best of - Too Much Money – Sports Bizarre

This week we look at people who had too much money.

Starting with F1 racer James Hunt, and his relationship with Lord Alexander Hesketh, a man who had money, and knew how to have fun with it.

Then there’s J. William Oldenburg, who owned the USFL team, the Los Angeles Express, and got into a spending war with Donald Trump.

Lastly, we look at James Gordon Bennett Jr, the youngest ever Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, who had a cow on his yacht so he could get fresh milk.

We are doing two live Sports Bizarre shows in Melbourne in February at the Corner Hotel. You can buy tickets here:

Tuesday 20th February

Tuesday 27th February

We are kicking off at the Corner Hotel because it’s a two-minute walk from Mick’s house, but don’t worry if you’re not in Victoria, we will be announcing more dates in the near future.
