Nick didn't even attend his funeral. He has also said that he knew his grandmother in Texas "never loved him" and that he was not bothered by that.
The grandfather (or grandmother who died last) seems to have organized the estate knowing full well what Nick was and not letting him get anywhere near real money.
From my reading of the will, the grandmother didn't have a lot of say in most of the grandfather's estate.
There appear to be trusts made for her benefit (and potentially, to a lesser extent, the rest of the family - this is the family trust section which Nick addressed directly) but once she died, they were directly willed in equal shares to the children. The exception would be any personal property like their home and in particular the Petrofac stock they still owned as of 2016 (but it is my belief that that probably would be mostly sold or given away by then).
My guess is that Nick was bitter because he wanted his money NOW NOW NOW.
That said, why in the fuck would anyone donate money to this guy once they learn he comes from wealth?
Hold out on him, and force him to clean up his act so he can get his trust fund money. That would be the best way, but no, we get retards like this that want to reward shitty behavior.
Nick has always threaded the needle of not admitting how wealthy his background is. I am sure most people actually believed he needed those super chats and Locals subscriptions to support his five children without fully understanding that he appears to have managed to live an upper middle class to upper class lifestyle, including owning multiple homes, while on a meager income before ever hitting it big with super chats.
Once he truly popped off with the trial streams it was basically a pool of funds to spend big on the stuff he couldn't ask his parents to pay for. The shitty Rustang he spent $100k on and managed to drive into the ditch before he ever drove it into his own driveway. Hedonism II (remember he said he already had bought vacations that he could book at any time but he skipped them to go there instead). Hedonism II again. The Vegas and Nashville shows where he LARPed as a celebrity comic.
My eyes glazed over thru all this but this 100+ million would be divided for nick's parents and their siblings right? And then further divided for nick and his siblings? Of which he only has one other sister?
Nick's mother has 2 brothers. After her parents' death based on his will it looks like the bulk must have gone to various trusts in their names. Nick has one sister but based on his grandfathers' will it appears correct that he could not have received much directly and any money he has received as of yet must have gone through his parents first. My guess would be that his mother inherited tens of millions worth and Nick is probably in line to eventually do the same.
My primary concern is too much focus on Nick's family wealth, and using that to try explain why he is the way he is, could allow him the cope that KF is jealous of that.
Why is that a concern? That sounds like amazing content. If he does it I hope he does it in the kitchen for old time's sake.
I thinking it's not so much that Nick never endured some hardship. It's just that he didn't lean anything from it. That suggests to me his problem is more nature than nurture.
A lot of it is probably a bizarre victim narrative he has created in his head. Nick was traumatized by growing up in the rough part of Houston where as a first grader the cops would stop his school bus to make arrests and smack their nightstick down on the seats but he was also so traumatized by leaving the rough part of Houston to move to the upscale leafy suburb of Lakeville, MN in the middle of a Minnesota winter that he still gets seasonal depression every year.
Is this real? I don't care how many alarm clock stickers I get for this, but can anyone please point me to this clip(s)?
A separate incident Nick seethes about is his preschool teacher who scolded him because he flooded the bathroom with a toilet. I thought this had to be a made up failed comedy bit but I actually was able to find the preschool teacher he was talking about and confirm their existence.
