The Hammers. The Murdaughs. The Royal Family. These family dynasties are the elite-est of the elites: they’ve spent generations controlling their public image, amassing obscene amounts of wealth, and (no big surprise) have more skeletons than you can fit in your front hall closet. On Dark Dynasties, Syd Heller and Olivia Delaurentis dig into the corrupt, criminal, and straight-up weird stories of the rich and powerful to try and answer one question: Where did their power come from? And what is the real legacy these dynasties leave behind? Spoiler: It’s pretty, pretty dark.

The Hammer Family: Armie Hammer and the Men in His Family (Part 2)

Why did Armie Hammer think he could get away with it all? Turns out cover-ups are a Hammer family tradition, starting with the founders of the Hammer Family dynasty. In this episode Syd and Olivia reveal how the Hammer family made their fortune, the scandals they covered up, and the PR, blackmail and money that made the system work. Corruption became a full time job for one Hammer in particular. We’re talking payments to the British Royal Family, bribes to multiple presidents, and more. Way more than we ever expected to find out.
