"Ilona's sweater was produced for her in a custom color by her friend Andrey Artyomov, whose Walk of Shame fashion line is popular among the wives of oligarchs."

The "Generation Wealth" documentary film premiered this year at the Sundance Film Festival's Doc Premieres section. Eden Wood, a then six-year old child beauty pageant star, was interviewed and photographed by Greenwood in 2011.

The film was produced by Amazon Studios, along with Candescent Films, and Evergreen Pictures.

Its run time is 107 minutes, and covers plastic surgery culture, Manhattan socialites, shopping addictions, sexual capital, and how the top 1% spend their money.

It also takes a look at the 2008 financial crisis, and those effected by it.

The film also acts as a career retrospective for Greenfield, who released another award-winning documentary back in 2012 titled "The Queen of Versailles." The film revolved around Florida billionaires David and Jackie Siegel before, during, and after the 2008 financial crisis. Here, Jackie poses for Greenfield.

The documentary will be released more widely in theaters on July 20, 2018, and the book is available now.
