GUNTHER’S MILLIONS an utterly barking true tale

With a fortune estimated at $400 million, Gunther is said to own yachts and multiple mansions, and employ a staff of 27 to keep him living in the manner to which he has become accustomed. The only thing separating him from the other millionaires in the pack? He’s a German Shepherd. The story put about by his Italian manager is that years ago, an insanely rich countess left her entire fortune to her favourite pet, so the dog and his descendants (the current Gunther is Gunther VI) could continue to live the high life. This eye-opening four-part documentary attempts to sniff out the truth, and along the way tells a saga of cult-like excess, weirdness – Gunther once owned a pop band – and financial skulduggery.
