"I always would pass by places in the strangest cities — huge houses, big money, gorgeous cars — and always would say, 'How'd they get so rich?'" Rivers told TVGuide.com at the show's launch party. "So I thought: Wouldn't it be fun to do a show where you just go to the door and ask them."
The new 30-minute series follows the always-uncensored Rivers as she meets millionaires and explores their extravagant homes (ala Cribs).

But don't expect boring stories of inherited old-money. The richies featured on this show have worked hard to make their millions, doing everything from selling a line of camouflage makeup to the military to inventing the "BillyBob" hillbilly teeth.
"It's about the American dream — and [it's] funny," said Rivers. "New money will tell you [their story]. And that's the wonderful ones because they've made it very recently and are happy."
How'd You Get So Rich premieres Wednesday at 10/9 CT on TV Land.
