My BIL is going through the same thing and has been on Wall Street for over 40 years. His kids each have a trust over over $10 million, and his wife is raping him. Her name is Sue too.

money doesn't change character, it just exposes the worst parts of it.

and truthfully, how much does one need to get by until the day you die?

$10M? they'll never spend it all, but they might waste it all.

you could draw off $400,000 a year and never run out of money. that's what the president gets paid.

He bragged to me a few weeks ago how his buyout and deferred income will keep his current income level the same until he's 94. I'm guessing that's 2-3 mil a year, until he's 94.

If you drew $400,000/year from a $10 million trust you would run out of money way faster than you think. You can't look at it as being only 4% a year. I've seen several guys in that circumstance who wound up dead broke in a few short years.

It's duck soup to spend that kind of money every year if you want to. Also, don't forget taxes.....

Sounds like a bad divorce. Those two, by accounts, deserved each other. Sad they might screw up two other families.
