    If you read the summary, she didn’t hoard it. Her husband did, and she gave it away pretty much immediately after he died.

      Lol, right, I’m sure she lived a life of poverty in a shack round the back of his mansion and had nothing to do with those ill-gotten billions and the privileges they bring… 🙄🙄

        Idk, maybe she played the long game.

        Her husband has turned into a sociopathic wealth hoarder

        • divorce or

        • keep her head down so she can redistribute all of it when he’s gone.

        Seems like she made a legit choice to me. I’d rather someone did the right thing late than not at all - I’d save my ire for the people who don’t.
