Maybe someone can help me here: How did THK -- an "outsider"-- become head of the Heinz family fortune? Did John Heinz have no surviving blood relations? You know, no children, brother(s),sister(s), aunt(s), uncle(s) or cousin(s)? Why I ask is that most families bend over backwards to keep the family fortune,whatever its size,in the family. Surely John Heinz left a will; was it ever challenged?
I'm not sure she is head of the family fortune; what she does appear to be head of is the family's charitable endeavors.
She and John Heinz had three sons; I don't know how old they were when Sen Heinz was killed.
Senator Heinz was a republican. Killed in a plane crash. His multi-billion dollar fortune finds it's way into the pocket of this contry's most liberal socialist senator....how convenient for America's socialist.
