If there’s one thing that America seems to be obsessed with, it’s money. As we all know, it’s what makes the world go ’round, so naturally we all like to enjoy seeing high-priced cars, houses and toys on our TV sets anytime we get a chance. But which shows are the best to watch if you want some inspiration to become a millionaire? Keep reading and you’ll find out.

1. #RichKids of Beverly Hills

For anyone who hasn’t watched this show before, be prepared to fall into a new guilty pleasure—because it’s quite entertaining. Sure, it’s all about spoiled kids who have access to their parents bank accounts, but that only makes the outrageous spending and self-entitled personalities even more fun to watch.

2. Million Dollar Listing

I’ve mentioned before how this is one of my favorite shows on TV right now, and I can say that it’s all because of the big spending some of the clients have no shame in doing. While the drama between the agents is good whether in New York or Los Angeles, it’s the price tags of some of the homes that should really make viewers jealous they’re not carrying a net worth of millions themselves.

3. Real Housewives

For anyone who wants to know what it’s like to live behind a gated wall, make sure to tune-in to Real Housewives, which has a variety of different seasons in a number of cities. Like many of these shows, it’s one that will get you hooked from the second you turn it on, seeing how fake the personalities are, but how real the money is. It may lack substance at times, and seem like it’s just a cat fight every episode, but isn’t that why so many continue to watch?

4. The Millionaire Matchmaker

Another personal favorite, seeing Patti Stanger try and find true love for her clients can be both drama-filled and excruciating. It reminds viewers that as successful as someone might be in business, they are still super awkward when a hopeful love interest is in front of them. I’m convinced that if I were to make millions one day, I’ll find myself on this show—and I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a good or bad thing.

5. The Fabulous Life of…

This show has been around for a long time, but it just recently got resuscitated by VH1—and I couldn’t be happier about it. Watching some of the spending habits of our favorite celebs is always fun to do, and, I admit, a bit depressing at times—I mean, they drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on the most ridiculous luxuries that most of us could only dream about.
