I love Robert Frank's "Wealth Report" blog and his book "Richistan". They've opened my eyes to a whole new world of ER activities:
Duchess Gives Away Fortune For Love - The Wealth Report - WSJ
I wonder if she's counting on any of her offspring to grant her a lifetime tenancy to any of "her" properties...
The Duchess, who is 85 years old, wants to marry Alfonso Diez, a civil servant who is 61. Her children vetoed the idea, saying Mr. Diez just wants her money. So to prove them wrong, she’s leaving them her entire fortune and throwing in several castles to seal the deal.
“Alfonso doesn’t want anything. All he wants is me,” the duchess was quoted as saying earlier this year.
She is fond of pointing out that that each of her kids is divorced, even though she has never split up with any of her husbands.
