The story behind new Netflix docuseries “Gunther’s Millions” is dog-gone crazy.
German Shepherd Gunther VI is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a fortune originated among humans, left to a pooch, and passed down through the canine’s (very blue) bloodline. Along the way, Gunther, via his enigmatic owner Maurizio Mian, purchased Madonna’s Miami mansion, sponsored a sexy pop-music group, and sat-and-stayed through a batch of truly bizarre social experiments.
The four-part docuseries from Nobo Productions premiered on Wednesday, but Gunther’s story has actually been in the press for three decades. It was in the cultural zeitgeist before social media existed, so there is still plenty to talk about in 2023. And that hit a particularly sweet spot for documentarian Aurelien Leturgie and Emilie Dumay.

Welp, we’ve had a good run, friends. I’m not saying the world has gone to the dogs, but Netflix‘s Gunther’s Millions trailer shows us heading in that direction. I don’t know whether I should hang my head in shame for humanity or get down on all fours and propose to a dog worth 400 million dollars. I find myself in this position doing terrible things to my brain, and it’s only Tuesday.
In Netflix’s Gunther’s Millions trailer, we meet Gunther VI, “a dog living in the lap of luxury.
