![The Queen of Versailles [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LlX3VdtOL.jpg)
Meet Jackie and David Siegel and their eight children; Jackie is a former beauty queen and David is the billionaire "Time-Share King" of the world, and they are building their dream home the USA's largest single domestic home - modelled on the Versailles palace in France. And then the economic crisis hits. The Queen of Versailles is their story and how, in the face of the worst economic crisis in 100 years, Jackie, David, their children, maids, dogs, employees and business associates struggle to keep the time-share business afloat and finish their dream-home: Versailles, Florida. THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES is a deft and surprisingly subtle piece of filmmaking; Lauren Greenfield's knowing camera not only interviews but captures private moments in the Siegels' lives, and she constructs metaphors to create portraits of family, friends, colleagues, nannies and children as their rarefied world is turned upside down. The result is a hypnotic film of a family and the demise of the American Dream. 2 hours of Special Features UK film trailer Extended interview with director Lauren Greenfield Bring Your Own Doc Ondi Timoner interviews Lauren Greenfield and profiles Queen of Versailles 7 Deleted scenes: Aunt Sue, Dead Rabbit, Skylark Diner, Jonquil's Aunt, Uncle's House, Lorraine Versailles Tour, Timeshare Selling, Wendy's House

Better thrones than the Beckhams!
Another fascinating documentary which follows the bizarre adventures of the Siegel family. Although described as a rags to riches to rags story, this is a little misleading since the family are never really reduced to penury. In reality their money just gets tied up during the crash and although they have to economise they are never exactly poor.It's a fascinating insight into their world and you can't help but like Jackie Siegel despite all her faults. Just watch it, it's a goodie.

Almost two separate films, but very watchable. Your jaw will drop at moments where the director captures the lunacy of the world of the mega rich.
