Anecdote of the day: I was having lunch with my best friend; a friend of hers, a humble poor RN (named Joan) recently inherited 300,000 from her aunt. They had been close for many years. The aunt also happened to be Robert DeNiro's mother. Robert decided to sue Joan, claiming undue influence and asking for the $$ himself. After putting Joan to a lot of trouble, I'm glad to say, he lost the lawsuit.
Do you think Robert De Niro needed 300,000?
