> I'd say that historically billion dollars fortunes got diluted between the 10 children then the next generation Throughout history and across most cultures, it was usually the first born son who got the father's legacy and the lion's share of the wealth. It's why it was so important for wives ( especially of the powerful and wealthy ) to produce a male heir. Sometimes it was a matter of life or death. We all know of king henry's wives. "When Anne failed to quickly produce a male heir, her only son being stillborn, the King grew tired of her, annulled their marriage, and a plot was hatched by Thomas Cromwell to execute her." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wives_of_King_Henry_VI... |
