Synopsis

A look at the community of Palm Beach, Florida. Located north of Miami on the Atlantic coast, the city is surprisingly small, only 3 3/4 square miles, thinly populated with only 9800 year-round residents. Residents, whose median income is the highest in the country, are serviced by a supermarket that valet parks customers' vehicles, features a wine steward and maintains a vast caviar selection. Its past and present residents have included royalty like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor; political figures such as Sir Winston Churchill; industry titans like the DuPonts, Pulitzers and Netscape owner James Clark; political dynasties such as the Kennedy family; movie stars like Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Burt Reynolds, Clark Gable and George Hamilton; entertainers such as Rod Stewart and Jimmy Buffett; and business moguls, including Ron Perlman, Estee Lauder, Donald Trump, Bud Paxson and Rush Limbaugh.
