Anna Nicole Smith Wins Supreme Ruling for $1.6 billion

There is an object lesson in this story somewhere, but I’ll be darned if I can figure one out.

(Chron.com) The Supreme Court ruled today that one-time stripper and Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith could pursue part of her late husband’s oil fortune.

Justices gave new legal impetus to Smith’s bid to collect millions of dollars from the estate of J. Howard Marshall II. Her late husband’s estate has been estimated at as much as $1.6 billion.

Wait I found the object lesson. Dress to impress.

Dressed in all black, the former stripper wept in the courtroom in late February as justices discussed Marshall and whether he had intended to provide for her in death. When she arrived at the court, several photographers were knocked to the ground in a scuffle to photograph her.

I’m just an old softy for a great $1.6 billion love story.

I’m trying to think of what I wouldn’t do for 1.6 billion dollars….

hmmm… pretty short list. I’d even watch her show. Wait a minute, I did that anyway. As stupid as it was, I couldn’t change the channel. It was fascinating in the train wreck sense of the word.

If I read that right, Anna is only get a portion of his total wealth of $1.6 billion. That may be a only a few million. His son gets most of it.

Smith was originally awarded $474 million by a federal bankruptcy judge

Yep that is just a few million I guess.
