Bucky Barnes

Anna Nicole Smith married a man worth 1.6 billion dollars. She was 26. He was 89. He died 14 months later, and she spent the rest of her life chasing a fortune a court would never let her touch. The man in the photo is J. Howard Marshall, an oil tycoon who met her at a strip club and proposed more than once before she said yes. When he died, his will left the 1.6 billion to his son, and nothing to his wife. So she went to war for it. The fight lasted almost 20 years and reached the Supreme Court of the United States twice. She won headlines, she won rulings, and in the end she collected nothing. She did not live to see it finish. In 2006 her 20 year old son died in her hospital room, 3 days after she gave birth to her daughter. 5 months later Anna Nicole was dead too, at 39, in a Florida hotel. Keep this part. You cannot marry a fortune. You can only marry a person, and the money stays with whatever the paperwork says, not with whoever loved, or claimed to love, the one who earned it. A will is colder than any prenup, and it always gets the last word. The clip is under a minute. Watch her, then decide. A gold digger who finally got what was coming, or a widow a billionaire family would never let win?
