Florida polo tycoon, 48, adopts his girlfriend, 42, as his DAUGHTER 'to protect his fortune from family of man killed in DUI crash'
Home sweet home: Goodman sold his Wellington mansion to his children's trust for $3.8million and now pays $2,000/month rent
According to the website, Mr Searcy thinks Goodman?s wealth is buried in numerous trusts and companies, and is as ?sophisticated? a method as he?s ever seen. The financial battle has been closely tied to the wrongful death suit.
In 2002, the mogul sold his Wellington estate to his children?s trust fund for $3.8million, according to the New Times. But he only rents it for $2,000 per month.
According to an August 2011 report by the Palm Beach Post, his two children have more than $200 million in their trust funds. Mr Searcy suspects he has full control over those trusts.
Mr Searcy also said in court that Goodman has an airplane, yacht, polo ponies, and an unspecified amount of his father?s $1.4billion fortune from Goodman Manufacturing
In a 2006 document, Goodman claimed one of his trusts was worth more than $100 million.
Mr Searcy pointed out that Goodman claimed in 2011 that trust was only worth $6.9 million.
The Wilsons have already settled privately with the Player?s Club, a bar in Wellington where Goodman had been drinking in February 2010.
They claimed that the club was partially responsible for the crash because they served Goodman even though he was intoxicated.
