Seven young people born into incredible wealth will pair up with seven of society's most disadvantaged in Survival of the Richest, a new reality series coming to The WB in summer 2006.

In this buzz-worthy series, the rich and the working class will collide and collaborate in a unique competition that illuminates class differences with humor and poignancy.

Hosted by Hal Sparks, the six-episode series takes a group of seven wealthy young people, with a combined worth of over $3 billion, and pairs them with seven working class individuals who have a collective debt of $150,000

Forced to live together, the well-to-do contestants have the chance to prove they can survive without their parents’ money for the first time in their lives. For the working class folks, the experience is a chance to dramatically improve their lives.

Challenges vary from living richly at the race track to cleaning up the spectator stands following the event, as well as contributing to the construction of a house for Habitat for Humanity. Each week, one team will be eliminated until the final team walks away with a large cash prize.
