It’s not just Aileen Getty. Turns out, there’s a growing movement of ultra-wealthy fossil fuel heirs-turned-philanthropists who are trying to make up for their ancestors’ mistakes — and possibly pissing off their families in the process. But are their fortunes actually making a difference? And what, exactly, is an heir whisperer? As Ali and Sam get to know some of these heirs, the granddaughter of the once-wealthiest man in America comes over and shares her journey from heiress to activist.
