Hollywood actress, Ruth Ford who died last year at the age of 98 gave her entire £5.6 Million fortune to her butler! And her family? Oh, they got nothing. Mrs Ford owned two apartments in the Dakota Building, New York. These now belong to Indra Tamang, her Nepalese butler who was raised in a mud hut in the rural parts of Nepal. That's not all he got. He also got her valuable collection of Russian surrealist art. The only things he didn't get was her clothes and jewellery, though, I'm sure his wife will make good use of them.
Mr Tamang lived with his wife and three daughters in a small house in Queens and he said he was, "grateful, honoured and humbled" by Mrs Ford's generosity. (Telegraph) Who wouldn't? I would visit her grave every day if I was left that much.
The 57 year old butler cooked, cleaned and cared for Mrs Ford's brother until he died, then did the same for her. Too bad he wont be working anymore. I'm sure her younger family would want the same service.
Well, loyalty does pay off. Just don't go leaving your fortune to your dogs, if they're the only ones who have been loyal to you. If you have no one to leave it to, comment and I shall send you an email with my details.
On a more serious note, Mr Tamang, you should sell them Russian paintings at an auction and get yourself a few more millions.
