they dont want you to know this trick

He was a super dtar during his lifetime and made mad stacks. He just blew through it all making stupid investments, being sued by a number of people and buying tons of frivolous shit that interested him, so he became bankrupt near the end of his life. Having several lovers (two of which having been his live-in nannies, the last one a good 20 years younger than himself) and abandoning one in a jail for women after fucking her over didn't help either.
