Synopsis: Sequestered in a 20,000-square-foot mansion on a 40-acre estate in Palm Beach, ten family members compete for $1 million in cash. They compete in high-society challenges for cruises on luxury yachts, private jets and spectacular prizes and ultimately, for control of the one million-dollar fortune. A full-service professional staff will be at their beck and call, which includes a butler, personal trainer, stylist, kitchen staff, personal secretary, housekeepers, manicurist, tennis pro and others -- all accustomed to working with high-end clientele. Each week, members of a secrete "Board of Trustees" vote to disqualify one of the family members from winning the money. Unbeknownst to the ten contestants, the members of the Board of Trustees are actually the staff (the butler, the housekeeper, the social secretary, the chef and the stylist). The losers will remain in the house to watch the remaining contestants duke it out, and one will be given the opportunity to get back in the game. In the end, only one will win the $1 million cash prize.
