- (Singing) They were work hard for the money. So hard for the money.
- Let's talk about that.
(Theme music)
- Good Mythical Morning! - You may assume that all rich people
grew up with silver spoons - - Didn't they?
- ... feeding their golden bottles with caviar milk into their rich little mouths,
from a young young age. But you'd be wrong.
Sometimes a lot wrong. Because a lot of people started with rags and then got to
riches, which is why they're called rags-to-riches stories.
I'm going to trivialise you -- today -- with that, Rhett.
- (Chuckling) Oh please, don't do that. - How much do you know? It's time for...
'Started from the bottom now we're guessing how they got here.'
Okay, alright, I've got some questions for you. Seven to be exact.
If you get four out of seven of these correct-
- I'm a champ! - Well, you're a champ, but you also win
a riches outfit made of gold. But if you lose, you win a rags outfit, that you
have to wear. But if you win, I get to wear the rags and vice versa, alright?
- Okay, so both of us will be wearing outfits.
- We'll be wearing something. - Who wears it determines how-
is determined by how well I do. - I'm going to give you three life lines,
because these are multiple choice questions, Rhett. The first one
is; you can declare bankruptcy on two of the potential answers -
they'll be removed. - 50/50
- You can also do some insider trading aka 'The Martha', where I give you a hint
using the voice of Martha Stewart. And- - Oh! Good luck with that.
- And finally you can just ask a (stuttering) rich person.
- What? - Ask a rich person -- that's what I said-
- Okay. - the first time. You ready for the first
one? - Yes!
- Prior to writing and staring in Rocky- - Sylvester Stallone!
- was making ends meet by working as a... - Oh
- (laughing) Yeah, you didn't- - That wasn't-
- Yeah, you didn't get that right -- - Oh, right.
- that wasn't the question. - Dang it!
- Was Sylvester making ends meet by being; a Philadelphia meet packer; a Central Park
Zoo lion cage cleaner; a Coney Island health inspector or why don't you just
ask (Rocky impersonation) AAAADRIAAAN! I think he said that in the movie.
- He did. Philadelphia meat packer isn't that what he was doing -- it's based in
Philly. And doesn't he punch meat in the - isn't there a -- a meat punching
scene? - Don't ask me.
- So I think that he -- that's what he was in the movie. Sylvester is not a
health inspector sort of guy. - I don't know, I could see-
I could see - - But a lion cage sounds like a made
up thing and that's why I'm going with it. - Somebody's got to do it.
- That's why I'm going to go with it. B. - You're correct!
- Yeah! Yeah! - Yeah! Right off the bat!
- Woo! - He is now worth $400m but you know what
they say about polishing a lion turd? It'll make you rich! Or something.
(Laughing) I don't think anyone ever said anything
about polishing a lion turd... - No. You have now though.
- I did. You know what I say about a lion turd? Polish it. Next question.
You're off to a great start, Rhett. - Yeah I am.
- The founder of IKEA wasn't- - Swedish!
- wasn't always a billionaire. He grew up on a tiny farm in (Points to Rhett)
- Sweden! - ...where his first business was selling
individual blanks to his neighbours. - Okay.
- Was he selling matches; tampons; meatballs or little useless Allen wrenches
that don't work on anything but IKEA furniture?
- Hrmm.. I know what you're talking about. I have a collection of those.
- Because you want to keep them. It's like 'I'm going to need this later'.
- I do keep them. - Because what if it gets loose.
- I have a necklace of them. - You have an IKEA Allen wrench necklace?!
- I wear it on the weekends. (laughing)
It's not a weekend, man.
- Oh, it's not. - Matches? Well, meatballs I feel is just
like the joke of -- you know -- IKEA has got meatballs.
- What? But, why do they sell meatballs? - Because he sold them beforehand.
- Huh? - No, it's either matches or tampons. And
that's two different directions, my friend. (laughing off camera)
And selling tampons to neighbours? Really? - Well, it's a private thing. don't
want to go out and buy those, you want someone to come to your door and sell
them to you. - You've got to know that there's women in
the house. You've got to know that they -- they need a tampon.
Too young, too old, they don't need them.
- Yeah, let's keep exploring it. - But everybody needs matches! And that's
why I'm going with A. Matches. - You're so good! It is matches.
- Yes! The power of logic! - He looks like he doesn't have teeth in
this photo. But, he is a rapper. He's rapping. He's currently rapping in this
photo. I just wanted to point that out. - Okay.
- He's a toothless rapper who is also also the CEO of IKEA. He's worth $3.3bn.
- Wow... Sell those matches. - Before becoming one of the most
successful comedians of all time. This entertainer dropped out of high school
to work full time as a janitor. Was it Louis C.K.; Eddie Murphy;
Jim Carrey or Donald J Trump? - Ooohh!
- Janitor. Who get -- who- - Janitor? I feel like I would know that
Louis C.K. was a janitor, because he's a more recent phenomenon. I feel like
we're talking about Eddie Murphy or Jim Carrey.
- Just cleaning those toilets. - I can picture Jim Carrey as a janitor
and I'm going to say Jim Carrey. - Hrmm.. Have you seen The Mask?
- Yeah, many times. That's my favourite movie.
- Have you seen The Majestic? - No.
- Me neither. That has not contributed to his net worth of $150m.
C is the correct answer. Yeah! - Really!? Dang, how many do I have to get
correct? - I -- It's just -- All of them now.
- I'm going for the sweep! - Let's say all of them.
- I'm going for the sweep! - Oh! He's going for the sweep, folks.
- Woo! The pressure! - If he gets any of the wrong, he has to
wear the rags suit. - Now give me one.
- No! The sweep! - But - But no. You've got to-
- It's just a rags suit.
- It's not like you've got to be nude! - Okay, gosh! But then if I miss the next
one, there's no drama. Okay? - We'll change the rules then.
You don't even need a lifeline. - Oh! We've still got lifelines!
- You don't have use the lifelines. But you should ask a rich person.
- I want the rich person- - I'm asking the rich person on this one
and I don't even know what the question is.
- Leighton Meester is known for playing the Upper Eastside's reigning Queen B
on Gossip Girl. - Yeah, she is.
- But her own beginnings were a little more humble. Was Leighton Meester born:
On a subway train platform; in prison; in a barn or was she born to out-scheme
that sneaky piece of trash Poppy Lifton? - That would be funny if I was familiar
with the show? I'm sure. - Yeah, she's always out-scheming Poppy
Lifton. - Yeah, that Poppy Lifton,
- Prison? Nobody has babies in prison. But you know what? I don't even need to
think about this because I'm going to ask a rich person. Oh, wow!
- We just so happen to have a monocled rich person!
- You look so wealthy! You're monocle is attached to nothing.
- It doesn't need to be attached to anything. I'm so rich.
- I mean -- it's -- (chuckling) it's got to go somewhere, rich man.
- It goes to my hand. I hold it right here - No he- It does when you're that rich.
Alright, rich man. Are you a-- are you a Gossip Girl fan or what?
- Oh yes, all the rich people watch Gossip Girl.
- Yes, they get together and watch it. - So Leighton, was she born in a barn,
prison or subway train platform? - I believe it was in a cell. A prison.
- A prison cell?! - Yes. I've never been to one,
I'm too rich. - Born in a prison. Okay thanks, rich man
- Your welcome. - Your sweep is at stake here.
- I don't normally trust rich people, but I got to in this situation as he
looks so rich. B. Prison. - You said definitely not prison. And now
you're changing your answer? - Listen man, rich people rule the world.
- Are you changing your answer again? - No, I'm going to B. Prison.
- He's right! The sweep is intact. - Yeah! Yeah!
- Even though she's worth over 500m now, this celebrity grew up in poverty as the
youngest of fourteen children. Was it Oprah, Celine, or Paula Deen or
Duggar Child #14, which is the kid's actual name as they stopped naming
them after eleven. - Man, you think Oprah's got that many
brothers and sisters? Don't you feel like you would know all- know them.
They would be like 'I'm Oprah's brothers', 'I'm Oprah's sister'.
- There's thirteen of us. - I feel like I need to declare bankruptcy
on two of these answers. - Alright, I just removed Paula Deen and
Duggar Child #14. Uh-huh. - Celine or Oprah? I think Celine is worth
over 500m, I do believe that. I know Oprah is. Woah, this is tough.
There's a lot at stake. I feel like I would know this about Oprah.
- I love how you're stressing. You want- - Oooohhh.. Celine. Celine.
- It feels wrong, but I'm going to say it. Celine.
- It feels wrong but it's so right. - Yes! Yes! Woo!
- Good work! When she was singing All By Myself, she was lying through her teeth.
- Ooh! - She didn't get her own bedroom until she
was 24. - No!
- John Paul Mitchell of Paul Mitchell haircare wasn't always so polished, Rhett.
- He wasn't a lion turd. - Before starting his shampoo line, he
was.. what? A male stripper, a house painter, a member of an LA street gang
or collecting stray hair trimmings for his failed toupee line?
'He wasn't born with it, it's Paul Mitchell'.
- I would like to conjure the spirit of Martha Stewart. Even though she's
not dead. Get a hint. - (Martha Stewart impersonation) I hear
he still got love for the streets. - Well, that's pretty- it makes it pretty
obvious. - Well, that's because I have
insider knowledge. - Okay, I'm going to go with C.
- And I want you to get the sweep. - Member of an LA street gang.
- Yes! - Yes!
- Paul Mitchell was a gang member, y'all. He also owns 70% of Patron,
which coincidentally tastes exactly like hairspray.
- Oh! - Originally born with the last name
Bottom. So he literally started at the Bottom.
- Got it! - Because it was hit last name.
- Got it! - Did you get that?
- Yeah. Bottom. - This Oscar-nominated actor grew up dirt
poor whilst his family travelled around South America in a cult!
- South America. - Cult! Is it Johnny Depp, Adrian Brody,
Joaquin Phoenix or Shia Labeouf? Just kidding, he didn't get nominated for
an Oscar, yet? - Oh gosh, this is just-
- I believe in you, Shia. - Oscar-
- He pulled a tooth for a role- - Oscar-nominated?
- How c- How can he not wi- not get nominated for an Oscar?
How many teeth does he have to pull to get nominated for an Oscar?
- All these guys are Oscar-nominated. I believe Adrian Brody is Oscar winning.
So, I'm going to take him out. - Well, that's-
- Joaquin Bottom. Johnny Bottom. Phoenix seems like more a made-up last name.
I'm going to go with Joaquin Bottom for the sweep.
- You're going with Joaquin Phoenix? Just for clarification.
- Yeah, C. Joaquin Phoenix. - The sweep is intact!
- Yes! Woo woo woo! - You did it!
His parents eventually left Children of God and he eventually went on to
be worth $25m. - Chump change.
- But sadly he is still not an entertained. But hopefully you were.
We're going to dole out these suit prizes right now. Check that out! I got to wear
the rags - these are paper towels! - I am so looking forward to wearing this.

- I'm [Bruno the Jesus] from South Africa.
And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.

on a fruit stand - we act as. (Acting as bananas)
- Hey, get away from me! - I don't touch you, you look so rotten.
- Hey! Hey! Hey! - I'm the golden banana.
- Well, people- - I'm the golden banana! Don't make eye
contact with me. - People like an overripe banana. That's
me! People prefer me. - You smell like mustard.
- You shouldn't dog me too much because-
- Oh look! - Because you're going lay around and become me.
- A rich person - a rich woman - is grabbing me.
- Oh, she's squeezing you! - And pulling me away.
- You're too firm. - I'm going into a rich woman's mouth.
