While filming her first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, life coach Amanda Frances throws a painfully awkward manifestation party for her castmates. It’s not unlike the vision-board workshops you may have Zoomed into during the pandemic, when manifestation was virtually everywhere, only this one has caviar, cameras, and a host who offhandedly mentions that her house has nine bathrooms. Frances gives each guest a goodie bag with a notebook, a branded “Manifestation Moment” cup, and a signed copy of her self-published book, Rich As F*ck: More Money Than You Know What to Do With, which has a photo of her sipping pink Champagne in a tub overflowing with cash on the cover. Now, it’s time to journal. “If I could have anything, and I’d be guaranteed to get it, if the possibilities were completely limitless,” Frances prompts the table — as Kathy Hilton, who’s worth an estimated $350 million, looks on in white-rimmed sunglasses — “what would I let myself want?”
