Gordon Gekko would have endorsed Trump. Michael Douglas is a philandering fool.

can get IT done

IT is the neutral pronoun for unknown or all genders.

Mike will turn us all into ITs (castrated and neutered).

With an estimated net worth of $300 million.
at 5% interest, that’s $15 mill a year.
At 37% top federal tax rate
and 13.3% top Kalifornicate tax rate
That’s 50.3%
Still leaves him over $7 mill a year without touching the principal.
At 75, I hope his house(s)are paid for.

Sounds like a pretty comfortable lifestyle.

Heck his father had plenty of time to distribute his wealth before he died. Hopefully he got the pleasure out of doing just that instead of leaving it to others to distribute.

Michael’s net worth is $600 million. I’m not worried.

Could be why the old man cut him out of the will.That would be funny as hell if the old man was a Trump fan.

Kirk left Michael out of his will because (A) Michael is already worth 5 times what Kirk was and doesn't need his money, and (B) Kirk's money was going to support charities that he had been supporting for many years with his family's blessing, so it was no surprise.

I read the New York Post article about Kirk's "snubbing" of Michael in his will and it was one of the dumbest, most dishonest articles I have seen at the Post in a long time. Since the Post publishes lots of dumb, dishonest articles that's saying a lot.

I think Michael is worth 300 million - he doesn’t need daddy’s money. I’m sure he knew he wasn’t going to receive anything.

Exactly. When my father passed away, we had talked about his will shortly before his death. He was a retired Veteran so certainly didn't have Kirk Douglas money, but he had always pinched his pennies and had a pretty sizable savings. I'm an Accountant and make a decent upper middle class income, so I specifically asked him to leave my share to other family members that actually needed it. What's funny though is even after 19 years, I still get comments like, "You and your dad were always so close, what happened at the end that made him cut you out of his will?"

It’s my personal experience that if you truly want to see the ugliest side of your relatives, watch what happens when someone in the family dies and leaves behind anything of value.

I agree...on both points.

I do one charity...St. Jude's...cuz I'm old and have a deep respect for Danny Thomas and the way his foundation works.

Bloomberg has declared that the government should withhold its miserable healthcare from the elderly who should just go home and “enjoy” dying.

So much for Bloomberg and so much for government healthcare.

Get healthcare back on the MARKET ECONOMY FREE from government interference. The Free Market Economy is the GREATEST healthcare system by far.

Well, I must have a good family then. In reality, one brother has no relationship With the rest of us. However, when my dad died, he left a pretty decent estate. He left his wife very comfortable and my brothers and I simply split the rest.
