The hardship must be overwhelming.

CORNWALL, Connecticut (AP) -- The son of billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens was charged with burglary after he was found hiding under a table in a fly fishing shop, authorities said.

Michael Pickens, 51, spent three days in jail following his arraignment Monday in Bantam Superior Court.

He was found Sunday inside the Housatonic Meadows Fly Shop after the store's owner noticed something wrong and called police, according to state police.

Investigators found a nearby stash of items taken from the shop and found Pickens groggy and hiding under a table inside, state police said.

A billionairs son can end up having nothing if they loose their fathers favour.

I have met a few sons of very rich and powerful people that pissed their fathers off by being assholes and damaging the family image and are cut off from even a penny. They are some of the worse and pathetic people you can ever who live off of welfare, drugs and nickle crimes since they can't cope with society after having lives off daddy's money, not knowing anything about real life.

I don't feel sorry for them one bit. Being born does not create an obligation on parents if their kids turn out to be good for nothings.

What self-respecting billionaire names his kid 'Michael?' His name should be something like Maximillian Pickens, F. Hunter Pickens, T. Boone Pickens II etc.

Those are all acceptable names for the son of an oil tycoon.

I believe that people who are self made should not leave their fortunes to their children if the children do not show honour, integrity and competence.

Parents who give their money away to charity instead are good honest people who care for their fellow man and realize that giving their children money is bad for them and also for society in general.

Everyone should have to earn what they get in some way.

Now, that's a very good point Fu.

No wonder the kid is messed up!
