This is a short spoken excerpt from a YouTube video by Ramit Sethi (May 6, 2023) in which he defends the authenticity of the Netflix show "How To Get Rich." He states the cast members and their financial details were real, describes inviting the cast to an LA premiere where they met each other and his family/friends, and emphasizes that the on-screen portrayals match the people in person.
Everything was real. So when I met them, I had their real financial information. When I walked in the door, I knew nothing about them. Everything they said was real. And what I really love is that for my LA premiere party, I actually invited all the cast they had never met. And so they all got to meet each other. I said, hello. It was awesome. And my family and my friends and everybody got a chance to meet them. And I loved it. Because when you watch the show, you're like, oh, gosh, that seems like they're making it up for tv. No, when you meet him in person, you realize that's exactly what you see is what you get. That made me really happy to show a true representation of lots of different people from all over the country.
