Tom Benson's last will makes clear who was in, out of his inner circle late in his life

In July 2015, a little more than a month after a New Orleans judge found he was mentally fit enough to handle his own affairs, Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson pressed a pen against each page of a last will and testament that repeatedly said neither his daughter nor his grandchildren would get another penny from him.
quote:
The will sheds light on the pecking order of Benson's inner circle toward the end of his life. It makes clear he wanted his wife, Gayle Benson, to have sole voting power over New Orleans' NFL and NBA franchises — unsurprising, given the legal battle that had dominated much of Benson's life for the preceding months.
quote:
In one spot, the will notes, "I specifically provide that Renee Benson, Rita LeBlanc, Ryan LeBlanc, and all of their descendants shall have no interest in my succession whatsoever, and no legacy or other inheritance or benefit of any kind shall be paid to any of them under this will or otherwise."

Cold as ice.
His kids/grandkids are either real worthless pieces of shite or Gayle manipulated him real good.

All the kids had to do was not be selfish little bitches who thought they knew better than their father/grandfather, and they would be millionaires.
Well that’s something to live with the rest of your life

My nephew's buddy did an internship with the Saints, he always told us Rita Benson was a psycho bitch, no one believed him until now...
He said if you told her good morning, she would have you fired that evening..

That's why he was the man.

Gayle was doin work. You have to frick some people both figuratively and literally to become a billionaire. Benson had no true successor anyway. It was either the wife or a bunch of adopted kids. Give it to the wife, at least she was there till the end. Frankly I would have given the wealth to the closest biological relative. Keep it in the bloodline. When you are a billionaire you have a lot of leeches and very few friends.

Ive met Benson at the racetrack a 2 years ago. He kept repeating and forgetting things. I hope his wife didn't manipulate him into giving evening to her

I’ve met Gayle and Tom about 6 years ago. Gayle was surprisingly down to earth and very nice. So was Tom. You would never know they were billionaires.
