Successful or Failure

T. Boone Pickens Is Dead; Oil Magnate and Corporate Raider Was 91

A very rich man monetarily, but I guess not so much in family life. 😳😳

Mr. Pickens’s five marriages β€” to Lynn O’Brien, Beatrice Carr Stuart, Madeleine Paulson, Nelda Cain and Toni Chapman Brinker β€” ended in divorce.

The saying goes that money cannot buy you happiness. I will always wonder how does a billionaire strike out 5 times in the most important aspect of life. Did he not know love enough to succeed ? Or did he treat wives as the same , he did companies he tried to acquire via hostile takeovers ? Sad.
