A Florida Tycoon Just Adopted His Girlfriend As His Daughter

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.

saw that earlier maybe a incest fetish? or maybe hiding his money

[Supz]

You did not read why he did this?

He killed another man in a car accident when he was drunk. If his girlfriend is his kid. She gets to split part of his money, which makes his worth less money, because the parents of the dead guy are suing him for every penny he has.

Its a scam. Not a fetish.

[Rochard]

He's trying to move his money to places where he can't get it.

If he moves $200 million to his girlfriend, and they can't touch that money in a lawsuit, they can take everything he has and him and his girlfriend will live out their days spending the $200 million. Brilliant really.

Hope he trusts his girlfriend...

[Hentaikid]

She's only 6 years younger than him. It must be love.

[sandman!]

its called protecting your assets.

Untouchable/unrelated trusts and corporations can sometimes be "pierced" if a Judge determines they are part of an attempt to defraud. Could be interesting.

That's crazy he should have to pay if he killed someone.

[epitome]

They certainly look like father and daughter:

[epitome]

The thing is he's really trying to fuck his own children out of money that is supposed to be theirs. There was a trust setup long ago that the judge ruled the family suing could not touch. He has two kids who were part of that trust. By adopting his girlfriend, she becomes his third kid and now gets 1/3rd of the trust. That's how I've always understood it at least... this story is always in the papers down here:

I was thinking about that as well

[xNetworx]

I have a feeling Mr. Goodman is going to get a longer prison sentence for this stunt.

[96ukssob]

Now he will be arrested and put in jail for insect

[BlackCrayon]

i guess the family is lucky some poor drunk didn't kill him instead.
