Well, if you don't know how to keep it, you probably could use a box of Depends.

By the way, you're full of shit. Most rich families are exactly that. Families. Multiple generations.
Trust fund kids. THey may be rich on paper, but someone with brains has control over their spending. Usually this happens by the third generation. In the old days, the Briddish would send them to Africa or Australia, so they wouldn't be an embarrassment at home.

They have more money than you ever will. Therefore, according to conservative orthodoxy, they're superior to you.

First you need something to put into a trust. Justin is only 2nd generation. Something like A class PetroCanada shares.

People tend to be part of families, your experience notwithstanding.

Let me fill in the blanks for the stupid. If you have a lot of money, likely most of it was given to you by your. . . hang on. . . ready for this?. . . family.

There. Has that made it through?
Depends what family did/does to get there and if they didnt think with/like Johnson of Johnson & Johnson that is now SE Johnson Wacks.

Pappa scammed lots of money out of Canadian taxpayers. There is no way turdOWE could make the money last to the next generation if he was to ruin his personal finances like he has with our money.

The Trudeau’s family fortune, and the foundation for Justin Trudeau’s eventual trust fund which affords him his life of admitted white “privilege,” began in 1934 when Charles-Emile Trudeau, son of a semi-literate farmer, known to his friends as “Charley,” eventual father of one PM and grandfather of another, sold his Montreal-area gas stations to the big boys of Imperial Oil.

Those gas stations, bolstered over the years by an innovative loyalty program that boasted some 15,000 members, sold for the tidy sum of $1 million…in 1934.
First doesn't count.
Ah….Ok. For perspective, $1 million in 1934 would be equal to $18.7 million in 2018 money, and that’s just with inflation and compound interest, and lazily sitting in a bank.

Charles-Emile Trudeau seemed to be the epitome of a small businessman of his era. He started with one gas station, worked long and hard hours, eventually added another, provided good middle-class jobs to his employees, and kept the ball rolling until his loyalty program paid off with him owning 30 gas stations, all with a solid customer base.

Under his grandson’s Liberal government, he likely would have not stood a chance to build such a flourishing business and, down the line, his grandson would not have a hefty trust fund, no life of privilege, and no fancy private school where he thought nothing of wearing blackface at a gala as if he had just popped out of Aladdin’s lamp, but that’s a different story.
