I love how the assumption that a fortune is 'wasted' is made out.
Was it truly wasted? Would it have been wasted if he had spent it on women and drink? Would it have been wasted if he had given it to charity? Would it have been wasted if he showered friends with expensive gifts?
Surely if he had a great time, and someone else has benefited, then it is not wasted.
