I don't for a minute believe that Pitt's swimming in money.
His tattooed bride, suffering the ravages of multiple sclerosis plus whatever venereal diseases Pitt has given her, was making a two-hour commute to keep a retail clerking job. That doesn't sound like Sue Ellen Ewing.
Then Pitt was forced to leave the expensive Boston shithole and move in with DUmmy Raven in New Hampshire. No way that move was voluntary. In Boston Pitt was just another anonymous drunkard, but in New Hampshire he's the new town drunk.
Maybe Raven's drinking put her into a state of not being able to care for herself, but it's much more likely the move was dictated by a need to save money.
The Pitt clan has hardly made a dime since the mid-60s. Bill's most lucrative gig was substitute teaching, but he was canned years ago for inappropriate behavior with his junior high girl students and has had zero income since.
Raven allegedly had a law degree, but in recent years worked for a tiny town in NH, before wallduding herself and being fired a few years ago.
I believe the alcoholism and indolence of the current Pitts has depleted the fortune laid up for them by previous more civilized generations.
Hopefully the last few dollars will soon be siphoned off to cover democrat insurance deductibles, and the Pitt frenzy will reach a new crescendo.
