"He called me back out a couple of weeks later to 'rough up' the books because it was obvious they had never been read. All in all, he paid me around $5,000, plus meals while I was there, to make strangers think he read a lot."
"And that was 10 years ago. She was a very nice lady, just completely naive about people living paycheck to paycheck. It was wild. She had that 'old money.' Never married, no kids. She donated a bunch to the nonprofit I eventually started working at, taking care of kids with disabilities.

When she passed a few years ago, she left every bit of her enormous wealth to that nonprofit. Oh, and I may or may not have taken those towels home with me. š"

The articles were always like, 'Look at this beautiful house we found,' and casually mention his company's name."
"No, Iām not the beneficiary of that in any way, shape, or form. That sibling is just the favorite, despite said parent saying we are treated the same."
"And then imagine being wealthy enough to pay for an office full of them."
"When I left their employment, they gave me an all-expenses-paid trip to a Disney resort for a week and a substantial monetary gift."
