...legal case show that in 1991 he reported a net worth of $84 million. That was back when Seaboard stock was less than half its present value. Like many millionaires, Bresky also enjoyed a comparatively low federal tax rate. On his 1990 U.S. income tax return, he reported adjusted gross income of $2.243 million and paid $503,000 in federal income and Social Security taxes. His effective overall tax rate worked out to 22.4%--just a few percentage points above the 16.8% rate paid by families earning $35,000 a year. Of course, Bresky had 64 times as much income...

Fortunately, he does get some help from Fairuza Balk as Bobby's horny, buck-toothed and violent, but nonetheless...
...stairmaster at the QRAC trying to burn off those last 50 calories from breakfast and I was getting totally sweaty, like, just totally gross, and surprise! In comes my Ec. TF, who is not only my TF but also totally hot. I totally didn't know what to do and my face flushed even more and I tried to, like, wipe off with my T-shirt but this just messed up my mascara and made things worse. Totally humiliated, because he was obviously one of those people who looks *good* when he sweats, I decided just to suck...
