1.35B Lottery winner's family turns against him in messy lawsuit

[In The Zone '98]

Wealth is it's own poison

 

[Lambent55]

He won enough to easily throw his parents 10mil each, which would have them set for the rest of their life given their age. Yeah, he don't have to do it, but it's something he is easily capable of doing.

This dude is a prick.

 

[degu9089]

Yea. That's true but most people want to stunt on the people they around, I'm cool with moving to Cali or any HCOL area and blending in were my millions wouldn't matter so much.....

Funny, I’ve lived in Cali in the Bay, if I won I’d live an upper middle class life somewhere quieter with more black people.

 

[ORDER_66]

he might as well take the money and disappear... family crazy, its literally his money he can do with it what he wants...

They recommend 20% into a trust for your family, that’s $100 million with 4% conservative return rate to live off of. After the highest possible taxes in that, that’s $2 million a year split between mom, dad, sister, ex and daughter. Each could get a salary of $360k, buy them a health care package for $20k a year and $20k for help/maintenance/security each. That still leaves you with $400 mil+ to invest for yourself.

From 1.35 billion to roughly 500 millions
That is duplicitous publicity on the part of whoever organizes those lotteries
A big lie

Taxes bruh IRS gonna get their cut...

 

[Gloxina]

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to share with family, but how can they sue him for HIS winnings?! TF

 

[newarkhiphop]

Never fails

 

[DatLBCGuy562]

I cant imagine winning a huge jackpot like this and still being selfish. It’s literally found money. You have enough to break off the people around you a substantial sum to vastly improve their quality of life and STILL have enough to live lavishly for 10 lifetimes with money left over. Some people are just naturally selfish and wicked

 

[BrothaZay]

Winning the lottery is 100% lucc with no skill involved whatsoever

Im not saying they aren’t leeches or that he owes them anything but still, any mfca who won a billy lotto and can’t break off family is just as trifling as they are

 

[Turbulent]

I think if i won i would give 10 to 20% of it to family, friends and charities.

I'm telling you, money make even FAMILY do weird things and act in ways you NEVER thought they would.



I'm not saying I wouldn't want to win the lottery, but people, no matter how good you think you know them, will surprise you when they feel like they can get or are "entitled" to something from you smh...


I don't need to win a billion dollars, and I'd want to help everyone in my circle but I KNOW that opens the floodgates to craziness. God knows what is good for me lol. When you win the lottery it's different than you going out and earning or making that kind of scratch, people feel entitled to lottery wins but (kind of) "understand" that you earned it if that's how you came into wealth. They just treat "wins" different than actually earning the money...(again, sometimes)

Facts

I wish i had these problems instead of my regular rich gang problem

You clearly didn't read the story.

The son (the lottery winner) is the problem and is just selfish.

When a father is siding with his daughter in law (a non blood relative) over his own blood something is clearly OFF in the relationship.
