The Rogan podcast with her is really good. I became a fan after listening to it.

I doubt the mom stole 100 million. How could jewel not notice millions upon millions missing? Or see her mom buying extravagant stuff? How does one spend 100 million under your nose?

If she's that broke, I will take care of her....

you can steal the money w/o spending it

In the old days Fred MacMurray and Red Skelton had the same business manager.

MacMurray met with the manager weekly, insisted on frequent financial reports and even occasional audits. FM ended up one of the richest actors in H'wood.

Skelton let the manager take care of everything. Eventually a crisis arose forcing the manager to tell Skelton about his financial situation.

They met in a Las Vegas hotel room. The manager told Skelton he as broke due to "bad investments".

Skelton's preteen son had recently died of leukemia. Supposedly he said, "You even steal from little kids, too?", grabbed the guy, and shoved him partway through an open window, holding him by his legs (the same thing Don Arden* allegedly did to Robert Stigwood, and Biggie Smalls to Vanilla Ice)

Are these the ones from that Alaska reality show?



Yep. Atz Kilcher Sr. on the show "Alaska: The Last Frontier". He's about as down to earth as you can get living off the homestead his father got when he immigrated to Alaska many years ago.

I like Atz, but I'm more of an Otto fan. Whole family seems down to earth.

That sucks and all but I have a hard time believing she was ever worth anywhere close to $100 million. Not even if you account for inflation. There are some huge artists out there that are not worth that much.

She would be one of the few who have a contract that was favorable. Listen to TLC's story and that is more of the norm

My mom would honestly have an unfortunate accident over that kind of money.

Don’t care if it is my mom, you steal over 100 million and you are better off not breathing

I don't understand why Jewel didn't notice. It's a massive amount of money. When I think of embezzlement, I view it as a sneaky process. No way was this sneaky.

How do you not realize your mom has stolen 100 million? She didn’t simply steal it and put in the bank. She bought shite with it. She didn’t blow 100 mill on trips to Walmart. She bought expensive shite. If mom is suddenly living a very high end lifestyle, red flags should immediately go up.

Yeah, her teeth are an unholy mess but people with good singing voices are very reluctant to have any major work done in the mouth and teeth area.
Well, that is a sad thing to read for me.

I’ve got a major project I’d like for her to work on there.

I get a few million, but how does one allow it to get to 100 mm? I think after about a couple, I’d be wondering wtf is going on. But I keep a close eye on my money.

How old are you? She was a massive deal in the late 90s. Like Taylor Swift level.
