How a Manservant Is Still Living His Ordinary Life After Inheriting $20 Million

Lord Glenconner built his dream home in St. Lucia, filling his palace with royalty and decadent parties. Today, the once-extravagant vacation home is crumbling after being left abandoned and locked in a bitter legal battle. The battle began six years ago when Glenconner left his entire $20 million estate to his illiterate manservant, cutting out his own children. After realizing what Glenconner had done, his grandson sparked a legal wrangle with the St. Lucian fisherman who had served his grandfather for so many years. Although the poor fisherman agreed to a settlement, which split the inheritance in half, he is still living life just as before.
