Just how rich, even his wildest dreams could not have told him. White Christmas has sold 49,960,645 records, has been recorded 400 times, and has earned Berlin well over $1,000,000.

...years of his life he was a flabby old Blimp with brandy jowls and a menacing pewter complexion. Plagued by insomnia and stunned by sedatives, he suffered intermittent hallucinations, persecuting voices, recurrent depressions. About a year ago he gave up writing almost entirely. And then last week on Easter Sunday, home from a Mass sung (to his crusty satisfaction) in Latin, he climbed the stairs to his study and died of a heart attack.
