The Billionaire's Millionaires*

The concept for the show,  THE BILLIONAIRE'S MILLIONAIRES

This series would be a remake of an old television show, The Millionaire.

If you are over 50 years old, you just might remember a half-hour television series called The Millionaire with Michael Anthony. Each week he would pick up a check from John Beresford Tipton. The show was about what happened to a person when given $1 million dollars, tax-free with no strings attached.

Today's series might work with an unknown number of actual billionaires who each year give away $1M to a person who has done something very good for another person or for their village or city.  They do it not to be recognized or reward; they do it out of the generosity of their heart.

They're expecting no reward for doing it.

Then there comes a day, totally unexpected, somebody knocks on their door and someone hands them a check for $1,000,000. Of course, there would be no applications for this job! There would only be good people doing good things and somehow this new show finds out about it.

Many of today's billionaires, people like a Mark Cuban, may not have the time or inclination to do it  –  they all already have hundreds of projects of their own. But, we will propose it to many of them and let you know what we discover.

Maybe a few will do it. Then maybe we can get 100 to do it.

Talk about changing the dynamics of television and our culture! Hattie says, "What gets rewarded gets done" (which puts BF Skinner's operant conditioning, Pavlov's dog and a bit of William James in a nutshell).

Can't you just see people tuning in to learn what has happened to people who are given $1,000,000 because they did something good for somebody else?

It could be a new show so  we gave it that simple working title: The Billionaires' Millionaires.

The show itself just might become a billion-dollar business!
