In 1938, the 22-year-old Brazilian boy Jorge Guino inherited an inheritance of 14 billion from his father and instantly became Brazil's "youngest richest man".
The benefits of having money are nothing more than having money to spend.
"How do I spend such a huge amount of wealth?" Jorge Guino was embarrassed, he took out a pen and paper and calculated it carefully.
However, in the past 42 years alone, Ruore has been destitute, and in his later years, Ruore lived on a subsistence allowance of only $500.
From "heaven" to "hell" only because Jorge Guino miscalculated an account.
01
As the "world's number one loser", Jorge Guino must have a rich loser, and his loser's money comes from his father: Edward Guino.
Edward Guino did not have as much luck as his son, and he was born with wealth.
Edouard Guino was born into a poor family in 19th-century France. The embarrassment of his family forced him to work as a coolie on the dock to earn money.
It is common for dock workers to work more without adding money. If any worker provokes the foreman, he may be thrown directly into the sea to feed the shark, and no one will know.
For Edward, only by finding a backer can he change his destiny, but where to find a backer?
Just as Edward was searching hard, the corrupt face of the dock procurement appeared in front of Edward, and Edward instantly had an idea.
Edward Guino saw the opportunity and put his savings in the hands of the dock comprador. After that, Edward connected with the dock owner through the dock comprador.
In the years that followed, Edward had the opportunity to follow his boss, negotiate and expand the market, which allowed Edward to accumulate rich business experience and contacts.
In the late 19th century, Edward and his friends took their savings with them to invest in Brazil.
Because of his experience working at the docks, when Edward saw the port of Santos in Brazil for the first time, he was attracted by its unique conditions, and Edward saw a large number of banknotes in his eyes.
The discerning Edward decided to spare no expense to take the lease of the port anyway.
Located on the Atlantic coast, the Port of Santos covers an area of 280.3 square kilometers and is a port city in the Brazilian state of São Paulo.
At that time, the port of Santos, although owned by Brazilian officials, was dilapidated and had not been leased before Edward.
After more than 2 years of negotiations, Edward secured a 90-year lease on the port of Santos.
After obtaining the lease right to the port of Santos, Edouard united with many partners of the society and spent a lot of money to transform it, and the port of Santos became more and more prosperous day by day, and was even called the "nose of Brazil".
As more ships came and went to and from the port of Santos, so did Edward's wallet.
Subsequently, Edward Guinot's business sector continued to expand, and Edward was involved in various hotels, banks, and entertainment industries.
Eduard also built a five-star palace hotel, the Pearl of Brazil, next to Rio de Janeiro's beaches, dedicated to dignitaries and celebrities from around the world, including dignitaries from Brazil and South America.
The assets of the Guino family, like snowballs, are increasing.
02
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is like a lot of money, but it has become a daily routine and habit in Guinuo's home.
Money is no longer money in the eyes of the Edward family, but a tool that can be done at will.
The Guino family has several luxurious residences in Brazil, the most famous being the Palace of La Rangeras, built by a special person and cost $24 million.
The entire palace uses the world's most expensive black gold marble, and the general marble is only a few hundred yuan a square, and the black gold flower marble can reach 3,000 yuan a square meter, but Edward does not blink his eyes when he uses it.
Not only that, he also decorated the palace like a royal palace, what rare ivory wood in the world, world-famous paintings, oil paintings by Picasso and Monet, and even, even the two stone lions on the doorstep, Edward also found world-renowned sculptors to carve carefully, even the famous French sculptor Rodin left a moment before his death.
In 1909, the Guino family had become the richest man in South America, which also laid the foundation for Jorge Guinot's money.
In 1916, Jorge Guino was born with a golden key in his mouth.
At this time, Edward Guino is old, and he naturally treasures this son very much.
When Jorge Guino was 6 years old, he fell in love with watches, and his uncle heard about it and gave him a watch worth millions of dollars to celebrate his birthday. But Jorge Guino lost interest in just one day of work with his watch, and casually gave it to a maid.
Since he was a child, Ruoge Guinuo has followed his father to parties on various occasions, and all of them are dignitaries, celebrities, and brothers.
Although the playboys at the party were amorous, full of jokes, and provoked countless beautiful women, they were too unprofessional in the eyes of Jorge Guinot.
Ruo Ge secretly decided in his heart that if he was to be a playboy, he would surpass all of them.
In 1933, a distinguished guest, the famous philosopher Franklin, came to Jorge Guinot's house.
When Franklin was leaving, he couldn't get rid of Edward's request to "leave the ink treasure", so he left a note: The benefit of having money is nothing more than having money to spend.
For this note, Edward regarded it as a treasure.
Perhaps Jorge Guino's father understood what Franklin meant, that money can only be supported by investing it. But before he could tell his son, he died.
Jorge Guinot, who grew up in a honeypot, in addition to having his own understanding of the "profession" of playboys, he did not know that there were still sufferings in the world.
03
After Edward's death, as his sole heir, Jorge directly inherited an inheritance of up to 14 billion.
Jorge Guino, who was only 22 years old at the time, instantly became Brazil's veritable "youngest richest man".
The death of his father made Ruo Re unable to let go for a long time, he couldn't understand, why did his father leave before he spent so much money?
Jorge Guino locked himself in his study, sad and depressed.
He didn't like to read very much, flipping through the book on the desk at random, and suddenly, a note fell out of the book, and he bent down to pick it up.
"The benefit of having money is nothing more than having money to spend", it turned out to be the note that Franklin wrote 5 years ago.
Looking at the note, Ruo Re's brows furrowed, what does this mean?
He paced in the study, and then looked quietly through the window at the servants working in the garden, pondering the meaning of this sentence.
Suddenly, Ruo Ther's light flashed from nowhere, and he suddenly brightened, "Oh, yes, I have money, why don't I spend it?" Only by spending the money, the money is my own, otherwise what am I guarding so much money for? ”
So Jorge Guino made a plan for himself to spend his life, vowing to spend all his father's inheritance before he died.
So, Ruo Re took out a pen and paper and calculated an account in detail. A legacy of $14 billion, even if he lived another 100 years, it would cost him $140 million a year, and he would not be able to spend it in this life.
After calculating, Ruo Zheng found out embarrassed: it is not easy to spend this money!
In 1940, through the introduction of US Vice President Nelson, Jorge Guino met Rockefeller, and Jorge began reviewing scripts for Rockefeller's film company.
After reviewing the script to meet and meet many Hollywood stars, Ruo Re naturally found an opportunity to spend a lot of money.
Jorge Guino set himself a new goal: to catch up with all the beauties in Hollywood and become a "professional playboy".
04
According to Jorge Guinot's philosophy, to be a good playboy, there can be no work, and you must persist for a long time to do a good job of playboy and achieve the extreme.
Jorge Guino wrote three chapters for this "cause":
First of all, be sure to know what the baby that beautiful women love? Where is the best baby?
Parisian jewelry is the most precious and famous in the world, and Hollywood beauties are proud to wear Parisian jewelry. Therefore, Jorge Guino arranged for someone to go to Paris to select jewelry.
Secondly, you must be able to meet all the requirements of beautiful women.
Larmar is one of the many stars in Hollywood, she coquettishly told Jorge Guino that she liked a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and Jorge Guino signed a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars to her without saying a word.
A cheque signed at random like this can no longer be counted. In his own words, whether you have money or not, you must look rich.
Finally, be sure to give gifts to beautiful women as quickly as possible.
For the goddess Marilyn Monroe, Jorge Guino flew in the morning to buy millions of dollars of jewelry from Paris, and returned by plane in the evening.
But as soon as she got off the plane, Ruo Ge heard the news of Marilyn Monroe's tragic death. So, Jorge Guino immediately gave millions of dollars worth of jewelry to another female star.
Jorge Guino's behavior has aroused widespread heated discussions in society.
Brazilian television even openly criticized Jorge Guino's playboy behavior, but Jorge Guino, who was determined to be a playboy, by this time his ideological realm had been sublimated, and he firmly believed that playboy and philosopher were perfect complementary.
How can a person who cannot control his heart control his own destiny?
Jorge Guino has found a "spiritual home" for his life.
In addition to chasing stars with money, Ruo Ge is also keen on investing.
"How can you not invest as an entrepreneur?" At this time, Ruo Re thought that it was time to practice investing.
However, Jorge Guino's investment behavior is "remarkable", which makes all entrepreneurs stunned.
He refused to come to the bank credit card business to seek investment, and he didn't seem interested in this kind of lucrative investment at all, he was interested in the film and television industry and the music industry.
In the film and television industry, his investment has been clear, only to be a professional playboy.
In the music industry, he sponsored jazz and published a book called "Jazz Panorama", and he claims that some of the earliest Bibop jazz musicians also received his funding.
05
Under all kinds of tosses, Jorge Guinuo's ability and speed to spend money completely exceeded the original plan.
As a last resort, Ruo Ge began to sell assets.
By 1972, Jorge had lost the franchise to Puerto Sansto, and he had sold all the assets he could sell.
In 1980, Ruo Re spent all the tens of billions of family assets left by his father, but at this time, he was only 64 years old. But it really answered the saying, "People are not dead, money is gone."
In the end, whether Jorge Guino caught up with all Hollywood female stars, we don't know, but there are only 3 who are willing to marry him.
Jorge's first wife was an American lady, and the next two were Brazilian ladies.
However, Jorge's marriage was broken down because of his playboy behavior.
Three marriages left Jorge a son and a daughter.
After going bankrupt, Jorge Guino, penniless, had to move into a slum with his children and began to receive a monthly subsistence allowance of $500 to make ends meet.
In 1987, his son contracted AIDS and died. In his later years, Jorge Guino suffered from cancer and was reluctant to go to the hospital for treatment.
Finally, at the age of 88, Jorge died in the private property he once loved, the Grand Palace Hotel Copacaba.
This hotel has hosted countless world celebrities, and a night's stay costs tens of thousands of dollars.
However, at that time, Ruo Ge could no longer afford to live, and it was his friends who pooled money to fulfill his wish.
06
The story of Jorge Guino is embarrassing.
It is often said that the root is not right, the seedling is not right, and the gourd is crooked. If there are no parents who throw a thousand dollars, how can they come to the children who throw a thousand dollars.
Ruo Hot's whole life of brocade and jade food, to wind and rain, to rain and rain, luxurious living environment, spending habits of spending thousands of dollars, cognition without ability and responsibility, wrong way of thinking, doomed to Jorge Guinuo's life that began with comedy and ended in tragedy.
Jorge Guinot's defeat is a wake-up call. No one, rich or poor, wants their children to be losers.
Who said that the rich have too much money to spend, it turns out that there is only a life that cannot be calculated, and there is no money that cannot be spent.
Life is the most wonderful script, no one will know what kind of bad cards a person with a king bomb will play?
