Being uber-wealthy leads to a certain level of paranoia, but at the same time, you are a target. Home invasion when the owner is home is usually rare (outside of South Africa) but if you have the money, why wouldn't you go the extra mile?

Ok so I'm confused. If he's among those who "know how to live",  why is he dead?
We all end up equal in the end.

There are no inheritance taxes or estate taxes under Florida law. This applies to the estates of any decedents who have passed away after December 31, 2004. If an individual's death occurred prior to that time, then an estate tax return would need to be filed.

An over simplification - not sure everyone would agree with that... B)
That's me. Keep it simple... You can add the stupid. I often deserve it.

I used to dream about a quite shack by myself on a mountain top. Then some a$$hole ruined that for me.

I don't know about living in those luxurious mansions.  A guy I knew lived in an absolutely humongous mansion with 5 kitchens!  But all he did was complain about it. 
He said he never knew where his next meal was coming from....

Does he work from home? He could complain how far he has to walk to his office.
