Meet Meadow Williams, the richest actress you never heard of.
As her 80-year-old multi-millionaire husband lay dying in a hospital, bit-part actress Meadow Williams shouted down her cell phone trying to get $3m from his bank account.
The D-list actress was trying to secure financing for her latest film and the vast wealth of her multimillionaire dying husband was the solution. Still screeching down the phone, the buxom blonde was ushered out of the room by a doctor appalled by her behavior in front of her bed-ridden husband.
Hey, people grieve in different ways... even if the person is not exactly dead yet.
The seemingly callous behavior was the culmination of months of neglect and abuse by Williams towards her husband Gerald Kessler, one of the pioneers of holistic health supplements in America. Weeks after the incident Kessler died leaving his estimated $800m fortune to his much younger wife – and cutting his surviving family members out of any share of his fortune.
Yeah, that's a pretty dick move, but I always wonder about incidents like these. Did she swipe the fortune from under this fossil, or did he give it to her willingly. (The fortune, I mean, not the "sausage.")
