| Huguette Clark Gower |
I've always thought that good things happen to people who do good things. This is (sadly) not an absolute, but it generally works out this way.
Recently, a wealthy woman died in New York City. Huguette Clark Gower died last month at 104 at Beth Israel Medical Center. She was rich - $400 million dollars, rich! Her daddy was a copper tycoon. Las Vegas is located in Clark County, Nevada. The county is named after her family.
In 1991, a nursing agency in New York randomly assigned a nurse, Hadassah Peri, to care for Clark-Gower. Over the years, Peri spent more time with Clark-Gower than anyone else. She also left up to $25 million to her goddaughter -- and $500,000 apiece to her controversial lawyer and accountant.
What about the remainder of the money? An estimated $275 million -- was left to establish an arts foundation, the Bellosguardo Foundation. on her huge, 24-acre Santa Barbara, Calif., estate -- which she hadn't visited in 50 years.
But she didn't leave a single red cent to any over her surviving, distant relatives
