Quote:
Guy I went to high school with inherited several million soon after graduation. Never had to do too much, so he didn't. He also didn't have to foresight to stash a chunk of the cash for the long run. After 35 or so years of smoking dope, renting strippers and crappy investments, he hit the bottom of the pot-o-gold. Last time I saw him he was working for a local pizzeria. Nice guy, just not properly equipped to deal with a windfall like that.
Should have entered politics!
Just kidding, but most old money descendants aren't as rich as their forebears who earned it. Many are living off the wealth carcass clipping bond coupons.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
