Oh Pooh! I should of been good.

I wonder how many Fedoras this man bought in his lifetime.

 

[dhermann1]

That will leave a mere pittance of, oh, $69 million left to pass around. How will the poor little babies survive???
On the other hand, good for the old man! I seem to remember something about a camel and the eye of a needle.

 

[scotrace]

Ha! This is an interesting development isn't it? Might she have to find a way to make money?

 

[Fletch]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

And you a Bartender. For shame. For shaaame. lol

 

[dhermann1]

Now, now, lads. You remember what Thumper's mama always said.

 

[scotrace]

Or what Alice Roosevelt Longworth said.

Oh, waaaah. Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-snarking-hoo, my scaly little heart "bleeds" for them.




Only if you count red ink as "blood"--speaking of, I'd expect to see a fair bit of that in their financial futures....

And then maybe they will finally fade into the obscurity they should have lived in all along. Yes, that's cold--but why would you expect anything else from an evil old reptile like me?lol

Great story!

He lives about an hour down the road in a little backwater desert town. I don't believe I've ever seen him wear a fedora, but certainly lots of cowboy hats. My father was part of the rescue team looking for Forbes and using Hilton's ranch as a base. He said Hilton is incredibly down-to-earth and invited everyone in for coffee and donuts and even allowed some of the guys to have access to his land for deer hunting. And apparently he likes cheap cigars. Go figure.

I'm glad someone still has sense enough to discipline their children (or grandchildren in this case).

:eusa_clap

 

[Fletch]

Or what Alice Roosevelt Longworth said.

"The rich are different from you and me - they have more money" ???

Or what? Is it postable? (A guy I once knew claimed to have been befriended by Mrs. Longworth as a child and said she had a gloriously filthy vocabulary.)

 

[BegintheBeguine]

If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me.

More than likely Paris did not spill a drop of her Red Bull cocktail at the news.
As noted in this article in Ad Week very little bad behavior goes punished.

 

[Miss Neecerie]

I don't think it necessarily has a -single- thing to do with his granddaughter and 'teaching her' a lesson.

His sons have their -own- fortunes. This move on his part does by no means bankrupt any of them.

This man's father -also- gave all of his money to charity instead of his children. So -this- man earned his -own- fortune, and is now following a tradition and giving it away near the end.

Any other motivation is -pure media speculation-.

 

[Foofoogal]

Yeah for Philanthropy!

Some of the wealthiest people I have ever met have been down to earth and some of the poorest have been the greatest snobs. :eusa_doh:

Monetary I mean.

 

[Lady Day]

Find a way to make money!?
Shes had a tv show(s), clothing endorsements, book deals, movie deals, a perfume line, etc. All from the fact of who she is with no talent required. You cant go anywhere without being forced to see her! :eusa_doh:

Little rich girl, you will be alright.

Not completely true, his Dad gave his fortune to charity but, Barron spent years in court fighting for his share and settled out of court for 50%

She makes at least $15,000-$30,000 just for appearing at an event. And that's not including her existing contracts for events, the above work, modeling, and all the free swag she receives, which can total tens of thousands per event.

She also has a pretty quiet mother and sister, and they aren't suffering either. I agree with our well-read Bartender, Grandpa's following in well-trod footsteps and has got class. Other folks are pledging their fortune late in life too: Bill Gates, etc. I'd love to be able to emulate this charitable giving on such a grand scale.
