Netflix’s latest docuseries,“Gunther’s Millions” is another mystery story worth checking out.
This docuseries delves into the story of the richest dog in the world—and the people in charge of maintaining his wealth. The four-part series breaks down for viewers how this dog ended up with so much money.
The extremely lucky German Shepherd is said to be worth $400 million and is enjoying all the perks of lavish living and being taken care of by the staff.
The doccie begins with the story of a German doctor who made millions in pharmaceuticals back in the ’80s and was able to provide his wife (a countess) and son with a life of luxury. The story goes that despite their wealth and privilege, the son died by suicide, thus making the family dog Gunther the heir to their $400 million fortune.
When the countess also passed away, she left Gunther (and the dog’s subsequent heirs) to a family friend named Maurizio Mian, an Italian eccentric and entrepreneur. The series chronicles Mian’s life with the original Gunther (he now owns Gunther VI) and their financial exploits.
🤐 Spoiler alert*
That in itself is strange, but when the tale is revealed, it becomes clear that Gunther the dog’s rise to wealth is entirely fictional and not at all factual. Episode 4, “Heir of the Dog,” reveals a twist in the story: Mian admits that neither the German countess nor her son Gunther ever existed. Mian explains that he personally suffered from depression for years, and projected his own mental health issues onto the fictional (human) Gunther. In the series, there’s speculation that Mian’s ruse was a result of the issues he had with his own mother, as well as the pressure she put on him to become a scientist.
Well, you definitely want to check this doccie, which is now streaming on Netflix.
